During the rockback...
Recently I've been trying to work on a phase during the rockback, more specifically the time between the swing and the inversion. I know to get fully inverted I have to first "bring my feet past my hands", but that's exactly what I'm having trouble with right now. What cues do you guys use...

Top 3 List
What would you say are the three most important things in a jump?

Timing to the recoil of the pole
Ever since I started to vault, I've always had trouble timing my pushoff to the recoiling movement of the pole. What usually ends up happening is that at the top end of my jump, I "muscle" over the bar, barely getting height over my top hand. I'm 5'10", approximately 146lbs; currently...

Believe it or not, i've tried that before but for some reason it just made my performance worse..I'm really not sure why, but visualization doesn't quite work for me -- I'm more of a muscle memory/kinesthetic vaulter. During my past few practices though, I've tried to keep my eyes on my bottom hand,...

Looking at the bar
This has always been an ongoing problem for me; whenever I jump, I have a tendency to look at the bar, whether it's at takeoff, or when I'm trying to get inverted. I know that by doing this, I'm hampering my jump and what it could potentially be, so I was just wondering whether any of you have had a...
