well its not the height that bothers me, i mean i know that i can clear the heights thats i am missing at right now, but for some reason my form magically gets really bad when i get up there. I think it is because i am trying to just clear that height and not go as high as i can.

yeah i was thinking of putting the bungieAT 16' and putting the bar at 13' or 14'......our stndards only go up to 16' so we cant do any great kicking drills.

As a coach has said to me, "What do you mean you were thinking, I am the coach you are the vaulter I think,you DO." also
"Are you sure you were thinking you are a pole vaulter...then agian that could be the problem to start with, just dont think."
