More than a second edition.
The book From Beginner to Bubka was wildly successful for its detailed explanations, illustrations, and innovative approach to teaching and coaching the pole vault.
From Beginner to Bubka and Isinbayeva too! is a complete reworking of the book. Nearly every page of the book has been rewritten and expanded. Hundreds of new pictures have been added to better visualize the text. New chapters have been added to further aid in the development of the vaulter.
The original book was 170 pages. From Beginner to Bubka and Isinbayeva too! is 310 pages. Almost twice as long!
