Raising Whole Athletes
Helping parents raise whole athletes who thrive in sport, at home and in life.
For Parents of Young Athletes,
Have You Ever Really Looked at Your Athlete’s Alignment?
Your athlete’s posture and alignment can tell you a lot about how they naturally stand and control their body.
This FREE Young Athlete Posture & Alignment Assessment gives you a simple, parent-friendly way to know what to look for.
No anatomy knowledge needed. No diagnosing. Just a better way to observe your athlete.
Maybe You’ve Noticed Something...
- Their knees seem to turn inward.
- They stand with their knees pushed backward.
- Their legs appear to bow outward.
- Their shoulders or upper back seem more rounded.
And you find yourself wondering:
“Is this something I should be paying attention to?”
That's exactly why we created this assessment.
This screen helps you know what to look for so you can better support your athlete’s strength, performance, and long-term development.
Take a Closer Look in Just a Few Minutes
The Young Athlete Posture & Alignment Assessment walks you through four common areas to observe at home:
- Knee Alignment
Notice whether the knees tend to fall inward.
- Leg Alignment
Look for differences in how the knees, legs, and ankles line up.
- Knee Position
See whether your athlete tends to stand with their knees locked backward.
- Upper-Body Posture
Observe the shoulders, upper back, and overall standing posture.
You'll get simple visuals, parent-friendly instructions, and an easy scoring system to help you document what you notice.
You’re Not Looking for Perfect Posture.
Every athlete is different.
The goal is simply to help you become more aware of how your athlete naturally stands and recognize areas that may deserve a closer look.
