Tell them to get their feet in a squatting stance or as we say at BFS, "Get into an Athletic Stance." The athletes may turn their toes out slightly for balance. Have them "sit tall" and "spread their chest" which will get their backs and upper body into a correct squatting position. (See Figure 1) In this photo, I am checking Luther Elliss' knees for correct alignment. (Luther is a 6-5 300 pound star Defensive Tackle for Detroit) My finger is pointing at the middle of his knee. If I were to drop a string straight down, where would it land? In this case, in this photo, the string would land in the middle of his foot which is perfect. (Photos will be added at a later date)&nbsp; If you had 50 athletes in the bleachers, it would take less than two minutes to identify all the athletes who would not fit this perfect alignment format. It would also only take about two minutes to correct any alignment problems. There are three ways to look at knees for correct squatting alignment: Knees out, in or forward.</DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left><STRONG>Knees Out: </STRONG>(See Figure 2)&nbsp; You will be able to see this problem easily whether the athletes are in the bleachers or actually squatting.&nbsp; The knees-out problem can easily be corrected by just widening out the athlete's stance.&nbsp; Widen out the stance until the knees are aligned directly over the toes.&nbsp; Squatting with the knees out will put unwanted pressure on the lateral collateral ligaments.</DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left><STRONG>Knees In: </STRONG>(See Figure 3)&nbsp; This problem is quite common with women athletes and junior high age boys.&nbsp;Again, you will be able to see the knees-in problem from the bleachers or squatting.&nbsp; When squatting th2reshmen and sophomores.  The older ones usually get it. They do what we say and stay focused. It's the young ones that need the attitude adjustments. <br>Using Vision<br><br>Sure, having a young Jackie Joyner-Kersee walk into a weight room is every coach s dream. To work with the best, and make them better. To work with them not just on a college level, but a career level. Yet, as the athletic field is changing with the new influx of women, many things are changing.<br>Like Dana, not every female athlete comes in looking for a career. Women aren t generally as single-minded as men. Many see a career and/or family in their future, not sports. Like Dana, many come without the testosterone-driven aspiration to be the best and beat out all competition at all cost. As with Dana, developing talent takes patience, a virtue that is becoming increasingly valuable in coaching women athletes.<br>Coach Ziraldo and Dana s story are about real people--not the superstar athletes that will go on to set Olympic records, but the people who still experience athletic events the way they were meant to be--as a source of personal accomplishment; as a strength and conditioning program for the mind and body; and as an exhilarating and fun pastime that includes teammates and c
