• Assume lunge position with back knee just off ground
• Attach band around front knee and have partner apply pressure from inside
• Hold position with hands behind head for specified time

Reps/Duration/Frequency: 2x20 to 60 seconds each side, twice per week
Benefits: Simulates the action of splitting your feet and lowering your center of gravity, like you do when you react on the court.
Coaching Point: Resist the band and keep your front knee in line with your front ankle. All your lower-body joint angles should be as close to 90 degrees as possible.
