In my clinics, I take a ruler and place the top end at the middle of an athlete s knee. The bottom of the ruler should be at the middle of the athlete s toes. If the ruler is inside or outside, the position is incorrect. <br>KNEES FORWARD<br>Sometimes beginning athletes squat with their knees too far forward, with the heels off the ground as shown in Photo 2. This puts too much pressure on the patella area, besides being absolutely ineffective. 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 possible as shown in Photo 3. Another great way to learn how to balance is to try a front squat with very light weight, as shown in Photo 4. This will help an athlete practice the art of stabilizing his or her body correctly. <br><br>KNEES OUT<br>Squatting with knees out (Photo 5) will put unwanted pressure on the lateral collateral ligaments. The knees-out problem is easy to correct: simply widen the athlete s stance until the knees are aligned directly over the toes. <br><br>KNEES IN<br>The most common serious knee alignment problem occurs when the knees angle in. Many beginning athletes face this challenge, and it is somewhat more common among women athletes. The knees-in problem (Photo 6 &7) puts unwanted pressure on the medial collateral ligaments. <br>The knees-in problem is more difficult to correct thanknees-out. The first step is to yell  knees to athletes while they are squatting or doing some other lift. This is a signal to force the knees out over the toes. This signal may or may not work the first time. If not, the second correction technique is to lightly tap the inside of the athlete s knee (Photo 6). This kinesthetic approach gives the athlete an actual feel for the problem. The cure usually happens after only a few light taps. If the problem persists, then videotape the athlete so that he or she can see the problem. This combination of coaching guidelines will almost always do the trick.<br>Remember, you can use this same coaching Absolute when coaching any activity: running, jumping, stretching or in sports practice. Your athletes will perform better in all these areas if they keep their knees aligned---knees over toes. They will be less injury prone, especially in injuries to the knees. All you have to do is yell  knees and positive things will happen once your athletes have been taught this vital coaching absolute: Knees Aligned.simple daily activities such as tPyping, striking or catching can impose far greater forces on the musculoskeletal system than very heavy weight training. <br>To illustrate his point, Siff compared the stress of squatting with running.  Suppose that one child runs a few hundred meters a day in some sporting or recreational activities. This can easily involve several thousand foot strikes in which the reaction force imposed on the body can easily exceed 4 times bodyweight with every stride. Now let another child do a typical average weight trh conditioning. When he graduated from high school he more than doubled his squat and ran 4.4. And because of his dedication to our weight training program, Keith became the starting quarterback at the Air Force Academy and became one of the 13 athletes in NCAA history to rush and throw for 1300 yards in a season. My question is, 'What would have happened to that kid who
