The cure usually happens after only a few light slaps. <br>If the problem persists, 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 main part of their descent pattern. This puts too much pressure on the patella area, besides 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 possible (Picture 8). The athlete should  sit tall and  spread the chest with the elbows and shoulders back. The athlete will now be able to balance with the heels on the ground in a perfect parallel squat position.<br><br>KNEE ALIGNMENT WITH <br>PULLING MOVEMENTS<br><br>The Power 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 (Picture 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 should always be aligned straight over the feet when picking up a weight or setting it down. <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 aware 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, cleaning, lifting, sitting or rebounding. In short, I want straight knees even in your sleep!<br>Dan feels strongly that his story is one that can help inspire and fuel<br>other young athletes.  I don t try to hide from the fact that I ve made<br>mistakes; we re all only human, says Dan.  There were a lot of things in my life that could have pulled me down. I had excuses to fail but I <br>didn t let them take hold of my psyche.
