233. You are Capable of Greatness with 7-time HOF Induzctee, Christi Smith-Ryan

In today’s episode I had so much fun talking with Christi Smith-Ryan who is the Strength Coach for Central Catholic HS in Portland Oregon. Earlier this year she she was awarded the best Strength & Conditioning coach in the state or Oregon!
Not only is she a fantastic coach and mentor, but one of the greatest athletes to ever step foot on a track. She’s a 7-time Track & Field Hall of Fame inductee and broke every single record when she competed at college in the University of Akron in Ohio.
In this conversation we discussed:

Her mindset and perspective on life that helped her to be confident and motivated as a youth athlete
The importance of being grounded and filling up your cup
Ways that parents and coaches can help keep girl athletes in the sport
The biggest lessons she strives to impart on the athletes she works with
Tips for getting beginning a new school year
