Whenever the bar is up, I look at iit and swing just high enough to clear it each time. The problems is that I look at the bar and don't swing up all the way. I have been stuck at 9 feet for a very long time.. I just always look at the bar and stop swinging. In practice I can practically get 10 feet...

I'm a sophmore in high school right now and last year the polevault coach left, so now we have the throwing coach. He knows a little about pole vaulting but not a lot. So far this year, we have only vaulted once and it was only for about 30 minutes. I haven't gone to a meet yet but I'm going to my f...
