Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width apart and body weight balanced on both feet, which are flat on the ground. Lean forward while keeping your feet flat on the ground. Balance is maintained in this position by having the hips behind and the shoulders forward of the center of gravity.
From this position, you can conduct a large variety of athletic movements or tasks. The universal athletic position can be found in most sports and assist athletes in obtaining a solid work platform to generate power and quickness.
For all who participate in sports such as baseball, basketball, football, softball, tennis and volleyball I recommend performing drills and exercises from this position which will improve your functional ability to quickly and powerful perform movements while engaging in your chosen sport.
