Do you think that it would be good if I went back a step when i moved up to the bigger pole? And yes I agree that i need to be blowing through the pole I'm on now on a shorter step. The only problem I have right now is that I have about 6 weeks before my regionals and i just got onto the 13'6 170

im affraid i dont understand this drill. do you have a a picture?

they took x-ray of it. they said it actually wasnt a true stress fracture but a stress reaction. but if i had kept goin on it much longer it would lead to a fracture

Last season was cut short for me due to a stress fracture in my leg. I had been experiencing shin splints for a couple months and it ended up being a stress fracture. I got to rest it for the most part of the summer minus normal activities and football workouts. We also went to a physical therapist ...

I have the problem that I want to jump out and not up. My coach/teammate has got me doing drills in the sand pit to get me to jump up and not out. This is my second year jumping so I’m not scared that I’m not going to land in the pit but he thinks that’s what it is. I wanted to know if there are any...
