Have the athlete stand and reach with one leg out to the side, keeping the foot just off the ground. You may allow the athlete to gently tap their foot at the end reach, however, don’t allow her to distribute any weight onto the foot. Ideally, you will see the following: the arch of the foot collapses (everts) to some extent, the ankle everts and rotates medially, the tibia abducts at the knee, the tibia and femur internally rotate, and the femur adducts at the hip.
