Thanks everyone for the help.

hope the tennessee track team can get me figured out before indoor.

thanks again for everyone's support and help. I've been trying everything out at practice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhpMnh2rnPk Had a great warm-up session then fell apart during the actual meet. I believe if I continue to jump like I did in warm ups I could clear some bigger bars. I'm on a 15'6 175, holding @ 15. My run is a 7 left approach from 97'. I feel like instead of getting ...

Should be fun jumping with him next year.

a little update

tried to better my run but take off was under sometimes

I'm going to train today, I will work on all of this and have some videos up by tonight.

thanks kirk b will do...

Kirk B -- thanks for the advice! will definately work on dropping shoulders and have one continuous swinging motion. Also I will try to keep my eyes off that bar (i'm very rusty right now haha) Where should my eyes be exactly? I know i'm not supposed to throw the head back because i will lose my str...

Hokay so, after 4 grueling months of football, I have returned to the track! I've had maybe a week and a half of practice before this meet and I'd say 15' is not too shabby for my first meet back. I opened up with 14' from 6 lefts on a 15' 180lbs pole then decided to cut-down to 5 lefts on the same ...
