I bring down six athletes from the bleachers and have them line up two yards apart, facing the audience. <br>Next, I give the command  Hit, which means to pop to an Athletic Stance and get into an athletic ready position. I look at their stance, knees and toes, and grade their position on a scale of one to ten. I also ask coaches and athletes sitting in the bleachers to get into a great athletic position. <br>Knees that are in perfect (10) alignment will be straight from every position. Photo 1 shows an athlete in a perfect sitting position with his knees directly over his toes. 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.
