thats kinda scary then that you can stiff pole on a 14 footer...
was that pole possibly cut? so its actually NOT a 14 footer?

The summer is a great time to work on your acceleration and speed. You can find lots of drills and sprinting mechanics information in http://advantageathletics.com/2005/?cat=24
