Coach, these are also called fire hydrants. Does that give you the picture? Like a dog peeing. So the external rotation is knee to chest, knee lifted out to the side like a dog peeing, leg extends to the back, then knee returns to start position under the body. Internal rotation is just reverse of that. Think of the knee as drawing a big oval in the air.
