More than a second edition.
The book Beginner to Bubka was wildly successful for its detailed explanations, illustrations, and innovative approach to teaching and coaching the pole vault.
From Beginner to Bubka and Isinbayeva too! is a complete reworking of the book. Nearly every page of the book has been rewritten and expanded. Hundreds of new pictures have been added to better visualize the text. New chapters have been added to further aid in the development of the vaulter.
The original book was 170 pages. From Beginner to Bubka and Isinbayeva too! is 310 pages. Almost twice as long!
Why read about the book, when you can actually read a chapter of the book?

Reviews
"I consider Beginner to Bubka to be the bible of the pole vault. It is the first book that identifies and defines a preferred technical model AND provides the comprehensive and detailed information required to implement the model. In my opinion, the accompanying DVD is a must-have. While the book can be, at first, overwhelming in the amount of information provided, the DVD clearly demonstrates that the Petrov Model is actually "simple things done extraordinarily well." The book/DVD set is a must have for both athletes and coaches." - Shawn Devereaux, TX
Love the DVD, all of its examples and clips. Excellent resource for any
vaulter or coach. Very much enjoy the explanation of doing "simple
things extraordinary." Only wish that it included more in-depth
explanations of the biomechanics of the vault. - Rick Alderson, WA
