tell your coach that you guys need some warm up jumps before you go to your full run. if you dont take the time to do short runs on soft poles, your confidence level probably wont be high enough and youll have a harder time keepin a consistent run. pretty much if you dont start off with at least a couple short runs your more likely to get injured cause your runs off or your not warmed up or somethin stupid like that.
oh and tell him a lot of this advice comes from Earl Bell, prob one of the best coaches in the nation. I'm sure your coach has heard of him.

I think that Trey was being sarcastic. It's a rather rampant characteristic of these forums (but it's always in good fun).

We ALL know who Earl Bell and Jeff Hartwig are, and we ALL know that Jonesboro is the American pole vaulter's equivalent of Mecca.
