What is pronation?

Pronation is simply a normal foot in motion, from foot-strike on the outside of the heel through the inward roll of the foot. Pronation occurs as the foot rolls from the outer edge to the inner edge. Everyone pronates, and the initial pronation is considered an important and healthy response to the intense amount of shock imposed upon the foot and is integral to propelling you forward. If the foot pronates too much or too little and does so frequently, several biomechanical problems may result that will cause a decrease in performance and increase the possibility of injury

pronation means the bottom of your feet is turned slightly outwards, this can cause damage to the ankle area and other discomforts, you might be able to get special shoes for that, since you are young, chances are you will grow out of it, so no worries.
