pv as mental?

Unread postby blazerunner121 » Mon Apr 19, 2004 10:27 pm

cause for me, it seems that days where its wet and dreary, i tend to pv better than when it is sunny and balmy. so i consider pv more of mentality than physical aspect.

I voted for mental, because I would not consider myself a physically tallented individual, I believe that if you put your mind to something it can almost always be achieved

yes, the mental aspect is important, but my vote is with physical. we train our bodies to vault without thinking. confidence is mental, but we only can be confident after the physical work has been done and we know we have done what it takes to jump high.
