Need help with my vault
Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2013 1:31 pm
Hi,
Im a sophmore and started pv last year. I dont really have an expert coach (she used to vault) but I cant complain. I ended last year clearing 9 feet at districts. I was strength training and running and all that good stuff over the winter season and yesterday I had my first meet and cleared 10ft to get the 3rd place! While I was happy with my scoring, im not happy at all with my technique. Here's some things ive noticed: I cant seem to keep the bottom hand flexed or rather straight. It breaks when i drive my chest and knee. Second: the top end of my vault is UGLY. The pull turn and the mechanics are just aweful. I like helicopter over the bar. As you can see in my video.

With that said, I need some tips or drills i can do to keep that arm straight, and to work on the top end of my vault, or anything else you guys see. BTW, I weigh about 150 maybe less, and im using a 12ft 160 pole.
Thank You Community!
