You may be one of the fortunate few who have a good high school coach. If you do not have a knowledgable coach, and you are serious about getting good, my best advice is to find a good coach to work with. What part of Florida are you in? Have you spoke to Bobby Haeck, I think he is in central Florida. He is a member of this board and a great coach. Contact him at:

Good luck with your vaulting!
