Although both vaulters are at very early stages of development, they can probably be helped by focusing on the following: At it's most basic element, the pole vault is a jumping sport. If they focus on only one or two things it should be to jump strongly off the ground without losing speed and reach...

My 9 year old daughter is in gymnastics. She was telling me of a high bar drill she was doing called "fish flops" (Cute name). From a hanging position you go back and forth from a "pre-stretch" extension and forward whip of the legs. Of course she's doing it with her legs togethe...

Kirk, Are there any video examples of what you would consider an aggressive and effective "downswing" as you describe it(whether it be beginner, intermediate, or advanced level vaulters)? Additionally, would it be possible to see video of what you feel is a more passive downswing for compa...

Be a little bit careful with how much and how often you use some of these types of products. Here is a case about a XC runner who died from overdose when some of these creams were absorbed through the skin. No reason to think it's not a legitimate article. Worth at least a read for some since it see...
