Hey guys, sorry I never got back earlier. We actually did follow your advice and got a set of used ucs standards so we can put the bar at a good height. Thanks for the advice

When the junior grade record is higher than the seniors mondo is a beast

Hey guys. I was the 4A high school state champ for North Carolina this indoor season and part of the Lake Norman High School pole vault team, the number 1 team in the state thanks to our wonderful coach Eric Richard. We have 3 people over 13 feet and several on their way, and our pit is becoming dan...

kirk and skyfly, thank you for your input. Ill see what I can do at next practice.

Hello again guys, I have some footage of my vault and I have been getting very frustrated recently. I have improved my collapsed arm problem, but I still slide under the pole and lean back and I don't know what to do. My coach tries to help but I don't know why but I cant do it.

Thanks Kirk! I have had a problem with collapsing that left arm and my coaches have been saying to keep it outwards, and when I watched clips of pros and elites, none of them have that arm collapsed, so I assumed I needed to keep it out.

Hey guys, I just wanted to see all of y'alls ideas for this.

This is my attempt at 13'6. Let me know if it does not work.

[quote] would recommend finding a club or a place where you can continue vaulting so you can keep improving! /quote]' Thanks a lot for the tips! I am vaulting with some friends at a local pit. Its not a club but we can vault and they have plenty of poles to progress on. Ill work on getting that vide...

Plant straight above your head. Move the pole straight up when you plant, do not bring it up in a circle around the side. Also, keep your arms straight in the vault. Most times I see people doing the "helicopter", its not planting straight above the head.
