Yes! He coaches a group of highschool kids in the backyard of one of the girls. Her father put up a pit and runway in the lower 40....how cool is that?

dang, that would be sweet to meet Pat, and then be coached by him. I like my coach though, he went above 17 in his day.

Pat also holds Elite Immersion Camps each week in his house throughout the summer. You don't have to be elite - you just live and train like one for a few days. Check out the "News and Announcements" board for his link.

I actually met Pat in the men's room at the Denver Airport on the way to Reno this past winter.

He is extremely friendly and personable. An all-time great vaulter and an even nicer guy.

I would like to vault with him someday.
