I'm always trying to come up with things to motivate my kids so I wrote this poem.  I'm not a writer and I've never written a poem, except for maybe in grade school.  I posted it on our website today.  Tell me what you think.

Re: Inspirational Pole Vault Poem
Thanks Tom!  I coach a few kids that like to pick and grin so that might be a good idea.

Haha Nice!
That's pretty good stuff. I still like the one that got put in my shoe though, whether it's a poem or not

That note will go down as the "Most" inspirational note I've ever written, Jason!  That thing was worth 3 PR's and a national championship that day!
