I think a lot of the problem, especially with teenagers, is too much flexibility. The problem occurs becasue there is too little linkage and their upper body elements "float" until all the flexibility slack (rib cage - to - hips, shoulders - to - rib cage) is exhausted. The hips can move very fast until this extra mass is engaged. It is best to show them how to take the shoulder slack out with a nice RFP and maintain linkage between upper and lower body by firming up the abs. The firmer abs will also flatten the lower back and prevent injury from the all-too-common junior reverse C.
