The first video is really the only useful. Video 2 is a bad angle and video 3 doesn't show the takeoff. In video one, your vaulter appears to lunge into the last step which is making him be too close to the box at takeoff and hindering his ability to jump up, so his takeoff is flat. A better final s...

I think you'll find that things will improve a lot if you can get your eyes to not be locked on the bar the entire jump. Your swing has no chance of continuing to the inverted position because in order to do so, your shoulders must go down. Staring at the bar is causing your shoulders to never go do...

I would assume she already does plenty of high bar work, correct? We've had success doing running takeoffs and jumping on to a high bar. Emphasizing the takeoff only to start and then introducing swinging elements one by one. What about short approach jumps? Can she execute a proper takeoff as you h...

His plant is late. A taller plant and jumping up and through the pole with his hands should help him easily get on the bigger pole and go a long way toward fixing the swing issues. Most swing issues are rooted in the plant and takeoff and that is where I would spend time working.

He's likely just taken way too much of an increase between poles. If your athlete holds the 14'6 165 pole at the same 13'6 location that he held on his pole last year, it would roughly have the same relative stiff as using a 13'6 185. Not surprising that he is getting very little bend since the stif...

What are the flex numbers on the UCS poles?

Sorry I wasn't able to make it out there Alan to join you all, but I heard from a few athletes that it was a great camp! Appreciate you coming to Michigan, even if I wasn't able to take advantage of it.
