My name is Christi Smith.  I currently live in the Joliet area-southern Chicago suburb of Minooka, Il.  I have 3 sons (participating in baseball, basketball, track, golf, cross-country).  I was an athlete myself; playing basketball, tennis and running track.  I ran a successful track and field program as the head coach for our local junior high for 7 years.

As an adult I have run 3 marathons, a triathlon (thanks Anne!) and multiple 5k's.  I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, certified spinning instructor and  Certified Youth Conditioning Specialist (www.iyca.org).  I facilitate youth programs through the local park districts; FitKids, Fun with Running and Adult Running/Training Programs (5K to Marathon).

I founded Pro-Motion Sports out of the great need for athletic development training in this area and a solution to the obesity epidemic so prevelant within our young society.

Pro-Motion Sports integrates effective dynamic warm-ups, works on increasing flexibility and pillar strength, focuses on improving multi-directional output, running mechanics and metabolic function, all to help the child/athlete compete at his/her highest level. 

Pro-Motion Sports is about educating child/athletes along their sporting careers. I always tell my clients that if I cannot explain the how and whys of what they are being asked to do…I won’t have them do it.  Please feel free to ask questions; call or email me at anytime.... 

and remember, "the world is moving so fast that there are days when the person who says it can't be done is interrupted by the person who is doing it." 

Congratulations for jumping into this arena and I hope you enjoy the challenges that lie ahead. 

I have a favorite motto…”together we can”. 

Good luck.

Let’s get down to work and have some FUN!!
