Be your daughter's coach. Get the book "From Beginner to Bubka". Follow it, instruct it, follow it to the "T" and be her coach. You can do it! It is a step by step road map to teaching, learning and doing pole vaulting. BUY THE BOOK! When I coached baseball I always had a "parents meeting". At that meeting I always wore my team baseball cap. During the meeting I would take my cap off of my head, offer it to the parents, and tell all the parents that if they wanted the cap they could have it . None of them did. Don't b**ch......buy the book and DO! I can guarantee you that the coaches would love to have you there. Yes, you would be there for your daughter. That's your pay for time spent. And, don't be ashamed by that fact either. Believe me though, the other kids that would benefit would be a wonderfull thing too. Don't be a stage Dad (we all are,ya know) be a coach. TAKE THE CAP AND PUT IT ON YOUR HEAD. Good luck..................Later........Mike
