| TCU Moderator: Good evening, we are going to begin the online chat with Devon Kirk. |
| MJ, Elkhorn, WI: What was the transition from high school volleyball to college volleyball like for you? |
| Kirk: It was a higher level, it is more intense and there is a lot more expected. It has been a great experience. |
| Kirsten, Houston: Why did you choose TCU? |
| Kirk: I chose it for the academics, the location and the campus is pretty. |
| Kristi, Durango, CO: How do you manage to find time to study? |
| Kirk: It helps having mandatory study hours, but its all about time management. |
| Ron, Madison, WI: What are your hobbies? |
| Kirk: Reading, walking on nice days, finding new music to listen to and playing beach volleyball. |
| Kirsten, Houston: What advice would you give to someone who wants to play college volleyball? |
| Kirk: Play club volleyball if you get the opportunity and if you are interested in a school, email the coaches and try to make a visit. |
| Gary, WI: What is your favorite and least favorite things about playing college volleyball? |
| Kirk: My favorite is the intense competition, it is very rewarding. My least favorite aspect is the lack of social life. |
| Dawn (Arlington): Who are your best friends on the team? |
| Kirk: I am pretty close with Hayley (Harmon), Calli (Corley) and Pam (Gehrke). |
| FP, Weatherford: How do you like all the travel you get to do in the Mountain West Conference? |
| Kirk: It is fun seeing new places, but being away so much is a big challenge. |
| Tommy: When did you first start playing volleyball? |
| Kirk: 7th grade, my mom coached the junior high volleyball team. I wore sweat bands on my arms so the ball wouldn't hurt so much. |
| Rudy, South Bend, IN: Do you prefer playing outside or middle hitting? |
| Kirk: Outside is definitely my favorite, because I feel like I can contribute more. |

| Kirk: Of course not, Mom! Send more brownies!! |
| Van, Wheaton IL: Do good genes have anything to do with athletic ability, or do athletes develop on their own? |
| Kirk: Genes have everything to do with it, Granddad!! |
| Payton (Coppell): Do you have any family in the Dallas area? |
| Kirk: Yes, my dad, stepmom and precious little sister live in Dallas. It is exciting to see them in the stands every week. |
