The coach that focuses on stiff poling, I vault with 2 times a week and the coach that doesn't focus on stiff poling which is my school coach, I vault with him 1 time a week right now but when the season starts I will vault with him all 5 days of the week.



I strongly recommend not vaulting 5 days a week during the season :deadrose: and especially not vaulting 5 days with your school coach and 2 days with a club coach on top of that. Legs need time to recover, even for healthy young high schoolers.


I'm sorry, let me rephrase that. When the season starts we have pole vault or pole vault related work-outs 5 days a week; it isn't all vault. And also when the season starts I don't think I will practice with the other coach because I agree in that I need rest. Sorry for not specifying.
Lefty vaulters...yes...we are special.
