Qué significa 'Tú no estás de rodillas.'
Is this a Spanish idiom? I saw this sentence on another spanish site, 'Learn Spanish.' Does it mean something like,'You are not of/from knees.' or what?

'Tú no estás de rodillas.'
It means "you are not on your knees."
Depending on context, it can be used to say "you are not humble enough / you should be begging me" or "you are not poor."
Note: Ponte de pie ... Stand up / Ponte de rodillas .... Get on your knees.

The new coach is trying to develop a feeling of esprit de corps among his players.
It is a idiom.

If I were to take a wild guess, I would say it means, 'you are not on your knees.' - Maria-Russell, Jul 26, 2013
