I have a problem with one of my vaulters. He starts to pull and invert before the unbending of the pole. Likewise the pole has to work twice as hard to get the vaulter into the pit and getting into the pit does not always happen. He gets good pole bend and can get fully inverted but just does it to quick. What kind of drills are available or what can he do to help himself?
Thanks for any information
invert to early

I had that problem at the beginning of this year. What my coach had me do was just hold my drive position and ride it into the pit that way and get comfortable with how long the drive phase needs to be. It helped me with my timing a lot and i was getting much deeper into the pit
