Hey everyone, so I jumped today and it went well for me. I have been having issues on leaving the ground for about a year and a half so I am glad I was able to leave the ground on a pole in a pretty big head wind. The winds towards the end of practice switched to more of swirling winds so I moved up to the 15' 175# 17.1. The last few videos are from a different view. I would appreciate any comments on what I need to fix and how it should feel when doing it the right way. I see a ton of things that need fixed.
1)Better pole carry(Left hand is dropping to low)
2)Quicker last three steps
3)Get my last left down fast and under me
4)Faster plant(arms fully extended right before last left hits the ground)
5)Consistent and further out take-off
6)Jump up more
7)Look up more
8)More chest drive
9)Whip swing with a straight left leg all the way to the top of the pole
10)Keep my drive knee locked in position through the whole swing(No dropping it-at all)
11)Head in a neutral position through the whole vault
12)Extend straight and not to the side
13)Stop over extending
14)Really wrap the pole
15)Keep tight
16)Hollow out more
So there is a lot of other stuff, but this is the stuff I now see every time I watch my videos. I have a lot to work on and improve but that is a good thing. Like I said I would really appreciate any comments. I am going to be start doing my pole vault circuit again on Tuesdays and Thursdays so if there is anything you think I should add or focus on let me know. Thanks for everyone that has commented,Personal messaged, facebooked, emailed, and coached me. It means a lot. Here is the video
