Getting back after 1st season

Unread postby JTred » Fri Nov 04, 2005 5:57 pm

I finished my first season of pv last year, went to pv camp at slippery rock and had a blast and got a lot better. I haven't vaulted since then though. I do a few drills occasionally in my room when i get bored, bu thats it. Indoor is coming up, and I was wondering if anyone had any trouble getting back into pole vault mode after the summer and fall offseason. What should I do to try to get my mind and body ready again for pole vaulting. I've been playing soccer since the middle of soccer and will continue until indoor starts, so I dont think my legs will have a problem. Do you think I'll have a problem or will i just get right back into it?

"getting back into the pole vault mode" physically or mentally?

If you have access to any kind of high bar or rings, swinging on them might be a little bit helpful.
