How do I stop sitting over the bar?

[wayupthere]

so how high should i be able to jump on the 14 foot pole, and when should i move up on newer poles ?

Since I dont see many high school vaulters jumpin 2 feet over their handhold I would wait till u clear 14' or 14'6 to move to a 14'6 or 15' pole.

yeah 15 would be a good jump gripping 14, and 16 is possible, but theres alot of technique involved to get there I would say until you can jump 20inches including box over your grip or until you can jump on a 14 footer 20-25lbs over your weight which ever comes first. BE PATIENT W/IT!

also i keep on comming in about a foot inside my take off mark. How much is that effecting my jump? and what should i do to prevent it?
