First Pole Vault practice

I posted this in the video forum too
Hi! I just started pole vaulting! I am 5'4.5 and I was using a 10'6 pole I believe. I was jumping with an 8 ft bungee. I had originally just came to watch another girl vault, but the coach asked me if I wanted to try, so after a few spots he let me try by myself. I have a background in competitive all star cheer and competitive gymnastics. I was trying to figure out some ways to keep my pole straight and keep my swing straight. Sorry if the video quality isn't amazing. I will try to get better recordings in the future. Open to any suggestions. Also, I am a junior in high school.
