Vault practice
How should I divide up my vault practices. I usually take 3 to 5 four left vaults then vault from seven for the rest of the practice. Should I spend more time on short runs ( like whole practices at a time). I usually vault twice a week and maybe 3 times in the spring

Re: Pre-meet snack
sometimes fruit, sometimes granola bars or cliff bars. my coach swears by taking a spoon of honey right before you jump as a sort of energy shot

Re: 13' 6" needs improvement
thanks. im going to hold off on the rag drill just because i already have some issues with looking down at the box and that would probably just make it worse. my 7 step has moved in almost 3 feet since last year (because i used to over stride) it probably does need to go out some so ill inch it back...

Re: 13' 6" needs improvement

Re: breaking the 14' barrier
I made this post back when my personal best was 13', and when i was struggling to hit it consistantly. I have greatly improved since then and have had good looks at 14' from a 5 step (went back to a 3 and have been working my way back since then). I still have many things to work on and look forward...

Technique or power?
So many coaches say that more focus should go into improving technically and huge improvements can be made by doing this alone. I agree, but i also believe huge improvements can be made by improving physically as well. My question is, which is easier? to make your technique flawless or to become a f...
