One of my athletes is is moving to London in september, studying. She would love to continue her pole vaulting at a club over there, but she has no clue where to go.
Does anybody has tips or good experiences at athletics clubs in London?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Barto for your video!
With this exercise you are stimulating the bottom arm pull? Why is this?

Agapit, being a believer of the function of the pull with the bottom arm, I'm happy with you explaining how to teach this to athletes. Thanks for the information. Are there also specific gymnastic exercises or drills you use in addition? How can we use the highbar or the rope for training the pull w...

Ok. Tnx!

I have a picture of the poles. How can this pole be compared to UCS? These are used poles. Is this an older version of Carbon Pacer poles?

They are 5m long and with a flex of 18,6, 18,1, 17,6 and 17,2. How do these poles compare with the U...

And when the Isi vid was first linked on PVP (last year), I was confused by her comments. If THAT'S the Petrov Model, then I distance myself from it. It's getting late, but if someone could dig up that original thread, there was a lot of controversy around that vid. I commented on that thread ... b...

Hi Becca,
Don't know where to put this, cause a personal message did not come through.
Can you add me to the coaches forum?

thanks for the advice! It sounds logical and it will make also make him faster in the last part of the runup.

Hi,

Tom has a problem in the top-end. He can't make a smooth turn and is very late with turning. How can I help him with this?

12 step runup pole: 4.60m/155lbs, grip height 4.45m, bungee at 4.50m

Get everyone following the same model is a great thought - but I suspect completely impossible in the USA. Wait and see for what's going to happen in that tiny country next to Germany in the upcoming ten years...we will kickstart it in august Altius, when you come over for that clinic! We got a few...
