Top hand
Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2003 11:39 pm
I've got a couple vaulters that when they swing up thier top hand swings to the out side thigh of thier opposite leg of thier top hand. So a righty is swinging to the out side of the left leg. Now they don't do this in any of the drills (pop ups/pulling and turning) just when they vault. It absolutly kills the top end, because they cann't turn very efficiently. Now I've seen this tendancy with kids that are blocking(jamming thier bottom arms out) but they aren't blocking. I haven't been able to pick up what they are doing yet that is causing this. Any coaches out thier have any suggestions?
