Drill description:
Turn your body so your right shoulder is facing the target (or direction you want to run). Your head and chest should be perpendicular or at a ninety degree angle to the direction you wish to run. Moving quickly but under control, cross your left leg over your right and move forward, swiveling your hips as you go. Then, stride with your right leg towards the target but behind the left leg. You should be back to your original position. Then cross your left leg behind the right and continue to move towards the target.
All the while, your head, upper body and arms continue to point perpendicular to the target and do not swivel or turn towards the target. Rather, it is the hips and legs that are moving and do the work. Cross and uncross your legs as fast as you can in an attempt to go at the target.
Note: After several repetitions with your right shoulder facing the target, turn around so your left shoulder is now aimed in the direction you want to go. Everything is the same except it is now the right leg that is crossing over and behind the left while the left only slides straight ahead towards the target. With practice your speed and ability will both increase
