Lol i don't want rehab advice but thank you. i can do ANY drill with a POLE VAULT POLE and thats about it. Now with that given info do you by chance have any advice on how to perfect my top end? Dr. Lebolt was my surgeron, the name probably doesnt mean much to you, but he operated on drew brees and ...

LOL somehow i knew this was the response i would get. I really hate switching the topic from "shooting up" but i would like to make some sense of this. when i pole vault my bottom arm(one i had surgery on) is not completly straight above my head. it is more at a 90 degree angle. When i do ...

thanks for the reply! Now i know there is no magical fix to this and the best way to go about fixing this is doing numerous high bar drills but unfortunatly due to my surgery, high bar drills are out of the question for me. So basicaly what im asking do you have any "tips" on how i can get...

any tips would be nice on how to shoot more vertical rather than "out" torwards the crossbar. thanks in advance. Heres a video of my first practice today. first time jumping in over 9 months...just came off shoulder surgery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUkhsSpr-Jk&list=UUaelJItl1WIQ...

i said in the original post i was only looking at the grip to bar height ratio...i do not care about any of the other info...i was just very intrigued to that set of numbers and that is it

I would use the chart every day to practice the appraoch on the track and every vault session as a "tool" to correlate with the run, plant and swing... when you have your best run and vault check the grip, mid.. see if it matches up...also check and see where you hit at the "MID"...

So would you advise a high school vaulter to use this chart(only the grip to bar height ratio) for his vaults as long as he can move te grip to vertical?

i was taking a look at DJs mid mark chart and i was really looking at the grip height to bar height ratio. can someone confirm how acurate this ratio is? lets say i have a grip height of of 13'2, it says i should be able to clear 13'6 with that grip. well would i be able to clear 14 with this grip a...

good morning... ff8 i would like to post some step by step practice runs you can do on the track... so how many steps and how long is your run when you are jumping at your PR of 13-6.. ie.... 6 lefts/12 steps start 65 feet?.. 7 lefts/15 steps start 74 feet? My 12 step/6 left run is apprx 63/64 feet...

There's apple and then there's oranges. Oh, and there's the purpose of sports and a purpose of coaches. Not exactly sure what you read? And not exactly sure what you thought i meant? Hope your book is a great success Old Boy. i doubt you know what you mean by this drivel. However basically what you...

do you jump at a private facility in south bend?

Attend any high school dual meet, invitational or state meet and see where most of the falls and injuries occur." It isn't in the pole vault. Most track injuries occur in the hurdles! And, the triple jump is extremely stressful on young knee joints. NOT TOO MANY DEATHS THOUGH! So, should we ge...
