5-31-2011 Pole Vaulting

Hey everyone! today was a great day.I was focusing on my run and take-off mainly and trying to just keep the vault moving(No Hesitating). I thought it went very well. I still see a ton to improve on through out the whole vault but it sure is coming a long nicely I think. I am not moving up poles right now, even though I could use a bigger pole, but there is no reason for me to move up until I can be consistent on the 14'6". I am in no hurry to get on big poles. I want to dial in my technique and move up poles slowly so that I don't lose my technique. I have a lot to work on but these next couple of weeks I am going to be focusing on my run,take-off, and keeping things moving(No Hesitating). I dont know why the video did not come up again. They just show up when they want to I guess. Here is the Link.  VIDEO  Sorry about this. Hope you enjoy it still.      

5-29-2011 Pole Vaulting

Hey today was pretty cold and windy. I think I am going to jump on the 14'6" 175 16.5 flex pole on Tuesday without the bar up so I can swing all the way to the top. I feel like I have to tuck to even have a chance at the bar. I am still happy with how things are going even though I was tucking more today. I dont want to move up a pole until I can swing to the top of the 14'6" more consistently. I am also still recovering from being sick, so I hope I start feeling better soon. I will be jumping at Summit High School on Wednesdays in a couple weeks. I cant wait! well here is the video.
