I was hoping to get some opinions on a situation that has come up in our area regarding the scoring of a league meet. Today I was informed that our league meet(thats in less than two weeks away) is scoring the pole vault and only the pole vault differently than the past. Because there are only 4 and...

Here are a few more videos of drills. Focus this day was: LAND DEEP INTO PIT WHILE COLLAPSING BOTTOM ARM. Played a little with stretched trail leg(bent leg stretched and straight leg stretched).

I agree that his step is under on videos but he still doesn't move the pole when he's under, on or out. I also agree that his timing with his top hand does not move up with the timing of his jump. We try to work on pushing the poll up at take off and keep pushing up well into his drive. Sometimes it...

I don't know what happened to my post reply?

I have a vaulter thats having problems getting deep into the pit. He is fast, has a decent plant but can't get him to to hold higher than 13'3 on a pole that is at his own weight(14'-160 big bend). Tried getting him on a 13'7-170 altius holding 13'1 gets a little more penetration but pole moves so s...
