Wherever you go and whoever you meet, people invariably ask the same two questions, "What's your name? What do you do?" Well the answer to the first question is easy - my name is Terri Braun. As for what I do, I am extremely fortunate to be able to say that I do what I love. It involves my two passions in life � children and sports. What do children and sports have in common in this day and age? Unfortunately not enough as childhood obesity rates continue to rise. Being a mother of two boys with another baby on the way, I continue to see the desperate need to bring the wonderful world of sports and fitness to younger generations. Introducing Kidokinetics, a dynamic and unique all around sports fitness program which I developed to help children enhance their coordination, concentration, and motor skills in a fun and non-competitive environment. Kidokinetics is a "traveling" sports fitness program that teaches children the basics of different sports. From badminton and basketball to T-ball and volleyball, we offer our classes at schools, parks, and community centers. We even conduct fun sports themed birthday parties and special events. It is very disappointing that in today's society we are neglecting toddlers and children when it comes to exercise. We often focus on adults exercising and seem to forget that if we tried to address the problem where it starts maybe we could eliminate some of the health problems these kids encounter when they grow up. I have developed a program to address this growing need by giving children an opportunity to have a positive outlook on exercise from an early age. We offer Kidokinetics Jr. (Mommy & Me / Daddy & Me) classes for children as young as 18 months old. We then offer age appropriate classes for children up to the age of 12. As a 3rd Degree Black belt in traditional Shotokan Karate, I have competed in the national and international Karate arena. I represented the United States at the 2001 Maccabiah Games in Israel after previously being a member of the South African national team. However, my true passion lies with children. I have been around sports for most of my life and this has provided me with an opportunity to develop a program that emphasizes the importance of physical fitness to children. I also realized that even though not all children are born as natural athletes, they should still have an opportunity to participate in sports. Kidokinetics is the result of my desire to develop children to their fullest personal and athletic potential. The unique Kidokinetics program incorporates knowledge obtained through my experience as a sports teacher at various early childhood centers, instructing children in both private and group situations in movement and coordination development, consulting with child development professionals, and formal training. With the ever-increasing need for such programs and corresponding growth in children's fitness industry, Florida-based Kidokinetics is expanding its operations via franchising. Since the program travels to the different locations, our business model is designed to be run from home with low overhead costs. I am proud to have taken my passions of sports and children to the point where I am able to share my knowledge and program with others around the world. It is my greatest reward to hear that a Kidokinetics coach made a difference in a child's life. I am seeking enthusiastic team players to join me. Kidokinetics provides full franchise support services such as complete training, a comprehensive operations manual, ongoing program oversight, and marketing expertise. Anyone who shares my passion for sports, fitness, and children can contact me about running their own business and also making a difference in the life of a child.
