Coach JM,

If I remember right, the three determining factors on your position in the slot with a stance (heel-toe in this case) are width of stance, degree of squat, amount of lean. It looks to me that you need to widen your base width for starters. This was one of the best recommendations I got when I went to the Florida Classic in 2001. It takes a tremendous amount of pressure off your knees and lets your hamstrings and quads do the work.

I think if you widen out a little, you'll get better head height (one shot looks like you are working a little high) and it will minimize fatigue.

I am having to force myself to widen out more this year as well (Note: I am not advocating the double wide or GD stance width).
