Hi everyone, I beleive there is a rule for high school track that you cannot start trainning for the season before a certain date. Is there such a rule in the NCAA? That you could not, for instance, start vaulting in practice before a certain date before the indoor season? Anyone could comment about...

Oh yes, I was a the world master championships in...

Hi, Indeed, people from le cirque du soleil thought about using the pole vault for their shows. Since their headquarters and main trainining center is in Montréal, I was contacted by them to coach their acrobats and some of their coaches how to pole vault ( at the end of 2006). So I work with 5-6 co...

Well we wished she would have cleared 13'11...Actualy she jumped with the guys, cleared 3.95m ( 12-11 1/2) but tried 4.25m (13'11 1/4) after. This would have been an outdoor canadian JUNIOR record ( curently 4.20m, held by Gabriella Duclos-Lasnier). She will have a few more meets to try it; Canada g...
