The first step is to yell  knees to the athlete while squattig. This is a signal to force the knees out over the toes. This signal may or may not work the first time. If not, te second correction technique is to lightly slap the inside of the athlete s kne (Picture 7). This gives the athlete a kinesthetic feel of the problem. The cure usually happens after only a few light slaps. <br>If the problem ersists, then video tape the athlete squatting so that (s)he can see the problem. This will almost always do the trick. <br>Knees Forward: Many beginning squatters will want to lift their heels off the ground and bring their knees forward as the mainpart of their descent pattern. This puts too uch pressure on the patella area, besies being horribly ineffective. <br>If the knees are past the tips of the toes, they are too far forward. To help correct this, use the partner system and practice squatting with the hips back and with the knees vertically as straight as possibl (Picture 8). The athlete shoud  sit tall and  spread the chest with the elbows and shoulders back. The athlete will now be able to balance with the heel on the ground in a perfect parallel squat position.<br><br>KNEE ALIGNMENT WITH<br>PULLING MOVEMENTS<br><br>The ower Clean requires straight knees (Picture 9): Use a  jump stance when lifting any weight from the floor as in the Power Clean. A wider, shoulder width type stance will cause unwanted pressure to the medial collateral knee ligament. <br>After  racking the bar, make sure the feet come back to a  jump stance before setting the bar back to the floor.<br>The Dead Lift requires straight knees (Picure 10): Again, use a  jump stance when doing a Hex Bar or straight bar Dead Lift. Do not use a shoulder width stance. The knees shold always be aligned straight over the feet whn pickng up a weight or setting itdown. <br>Look at Picture 10. Her knees are directly over her toes. This is perfect. Never Let the knees come together as in Picture 9. <br>The technique to correct knee problems here is the same as the Squat. First, yell  knees to help the athlete become awre of the problem. Second, lightly tap the inside of the knee and third, use video analysis.<br><br>CONCLUSION<br><br>Be constantly aware of an athlete s knees, making sure they are always aligned correctly. Most Knee injuries do not have to happen. <br>I want straight knees when blocking, tackling, jumping, sprinting, squatting, cleaing, lifing, sitting or rebounding. In short, I want straight knees even in your sleep!or my students. They anxiously await the next subscription so they can compare themselves to the athletes in that magazine. Now that we are in your fall edition I'm sure that other schools will use us as an impetus to join the growing ranks of weight lifters around the country."
