This is a South African discus drill, a drill used in the discus. This drill teaches the athlete to run across the circle effectively, focusing on keeping a wide right leg to set up rotation in the middle of the circle. Focus on working from the outside-in, leading with the inner thigh, and actively turning the right foot as it lands on the ground.
