Individual training
Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2012 3:31 pm
Hello, i am a 16 year old high school student who, like everyone else, wants to get better at pole vaulting.
I am not very experienced, but i do have some experience - with a running coach however, so not a lot of actual technique or pole vault drills.
Now i have returned to my home country, Denmark, after a year in America, and i have gotten access to indoor track facilities, including a pole vault pit and poles, which i can use anytime i want and as much as i want.
I do have a coach, but i want to do extra training on my own (which he has recommended); the problem is that i don't have a whole lot of knowledge about pole vault drills and training in general.
That is why i would love some suggestions as to what drills and possibly entire training sessions i can do as a beginner; they should preferably be fairly simple and thoroughly explained, but i am open for any suggestions. I am 5'8 140 lbs and would consider myself as being in good shape - and i like physically demanding exercises and drills. A quick summary of what i have access to:
60m "tracks", hurdles, mini hurdles, ropes, rings, high bar (sometimes), the parallel bar-things, pole vault pit, poles, long jump pit, medicine balls and various other stuff
I am also open to suggestions on physical training programs (strength, core, speed) and basically anything else that could be beneficial.
I am looking forward to hearing form you guys, and thanks for any suggestions.
