I have a cousin in middle school who wants to pole vault. I think they have a tryout period or something.
What online videos do you recommend to introduce someone to the sport? It necessarily doesn't have to be instructional. Ideally I'd like something that includes a mix of ages and ability levels, so that he's not just seeing big guys with big pole bends jumping 19'+.

There are of course a lot on youtube. On my Youtube channel
http://www.youtube.com/atlegu
I have slow motion videos of relatively young vaulters (9 to 11 years), Mondo´s newest World record, some really good high school kids, olympic champion Nick Hysong and Mark Hollis from the Pole Vault summit ++
In addition some videos from practice.
