The Oklahoma Drill for ESPN the Magazine

I shot this almost a year ago to the day. Great to see it in print. Thanks Nancy for the call and Nick for the great layout. On newsstands now,

Members of the Sylvia Circle Demons participate in the Oklahoma Drill. In the drill, players will lay on their backs at a predetermined distance and when the whistle is blown, they will jump up, run full force and tackle each other as hard as they can. It is the first time many of the players have been hit in the game and is a right of passage for those looking to play football going forward. Any player who tries to get around the hit runs the risk of being eliminated from the team.
