i was thinkin' the other day 'bout how there really aren't any good vaulting manuels out there.. i mean for the shmoe.. the guy that thinks the best way to vault is to throw your head back while pulling up at take-off.. yeah, lot's of 'em out there.. it has been my goal for the last decade to get off my a** and write a manuel that the "shmoe" can say, "oh, i get it"... so.. here's my deal.. anyone who has anything to say about how to vault... higher, safer, drills, spills, and just 'bout anything you can think of that may or may not deal with vault, but, at least help it out, shoot me your ideas. if i like it, i'll let ya know.. also, if i don't, i'll still let ya know, and i'll even tell ya why i'm right.. (oh i'm kindof kidding 'bout that last statement).. i don't know everything 'bout vault, but, who does?? so, that's why i'm inlisting the best of the best to tell me how you better yourself, or your vaulters.. GET TO WORK!!!!

The USATF Task Progression Manual (or whatever it is called) and Rick Baggett's Hip Pocket Guide to Coaching are two excellent resources for beginning coaches. :idea:
