That video with the "ostrich run" is super helpful I'm definitely going to incorporate it into my run hopefully that gives me some more control down the runway leading to a better vault. I get what you're saying about the swinging haven't done it enough for it to be second nature. Thanks f...

Thanks for the feedback you actually confirmed everything I've been trying to fix except for the left arm situation I actually thought I should work on it. You are definitely right I am aware that the bobbing while running is effecting my vault which is why I've been working on running with my left ...

I've been trying some new things some are working and some aren't hope I can get some new things to try from your feedback.

Alright I guess I'll keep it here and I look forward to showing them.

These are all good drills! Thanks for posting

I'm an African American pole vaulter and I think the two biggest issues would have to be money and appeal. When I started vaulting in high school there was only one other person who ever did it at our school and he already graduated a few years earlier which meant no one cared about pole vault at ou...

I'm getting a 404 error on all your links. I switched out all the links for new ones to youtube hopefully that works. It's the chest driving forwards/upwards along with your trail leg stretched behind you - and then the whip of your trail leg - that will bend the pole - with most of the weight on y...

I don't know many drills you could do but in any case where I'm not able to go to a pit I find any highbars I can get to and do drills such as these. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrH95QaNB2Y&index=18&list=PLsBC_YVp6r3QUVoLFbXp9TXFJFr9x6qMU Ever since I started doing these drills I've seen...

I've been working with my High school coach...
