A few years ago I had a pretty bad case of this during basketball season that carried on through track and into the summer. When I went to rehab for it the trainer said it is sometime caused by ur quads being weaker which allows ur knee cap to slip down and rub in the joint. So he had me do a lot of...

I would say your pole drop could be alittle smoother, if you look at the video there is a small hitch were you lower it then pause and then extend your arms. So maybe try to start your drop alittle later that way it's one smooth motion and it wont slow you down. Other then that to me it looks like a...

Organize a street vault. Would be a lot of work but if you maybe required a fee to vault,say 10 bucks, and donated the money to some charity it could probably count for your senior project. Also they seem like over all a great time.

Yea I realized that, it doesn't really matter what I do I'm not turning into a 15' vaulter over night so since I'm the only guy at practice now(besides my coach) where just trying to have fun and enjoy an extra week of vaulting.

At are distric meet I jumped my pr and qualified for states. Now my question is in the week before what should I be doing at practice? Abviously I will go on as normal for the most part. But should I go after some high bungies(14,14'6) to get used to coming off the top more vertical since I'm only j...

Hey I'm faced with the same dilemma after pr'ing at 13'6 11' is two low to start at. So what I do is in practice warm up like usual and then once I'm all warmed up I'll put the bar up at 12' or 12'6 in your case 8' or 8'6 most of the time I make it but sometimes I'll hit it the first time then make ...

So anybody who knows of anything pole vault related going on in pa post it here meets,camps,clinics and street vaults anything you got. Th...

PR'ed today 13'6!!! Got it on my first attempt will get video up as soon as I can

Hi thanks I will focus on not collapsing my bottom arm so fast from now on a practice and also I've been working on trying to get my takeoff out where it should be but it's a slow process.

We have a meet early this week so I should have video of my run then.

Alright I have a new question,today at practice I jumped 13' with the bar for the first time getting it in a meet a few weeks ago. For this jump I was only holding 12'6, and I made it with a lot of room to spare. My question is why is it that when I move my hands up from there I'm not getting as goo...

Hey I'm only a high school vaulter so I might not have the best advice but I would say you could run alittle taller and also when u get towards the top of your jump you seem to be just riding out the bend instead of exstending your legs and pulling with your arms to shoot you legs up. That advice mi...

New video from are meet today. Jumps start at 11' and go to 13' all makes are first attempt and then my three misses at 13'. I no i should open at a higher height but my coach insisted on us opening at 11' in fear we wouldnt make 11'6 or '12' if we started there. Also as i got to later heights i sta...
