Take your pole vaulting knowledge to the next level with a deep dive into the critical mechanics and training systems that separate beginner jumpers from elite competitors. This comprehensive course breaks down the essential phases of the vault, offering detailed lessons on proper plant mechanics, takeoff execution, and the complex transition into the swing and turn. Through step-by-step technical analysis and targeted exercises—such as the "hands together" drill, pool training, and short-approach jumps—coaches and athletes will learn exactly how to correct common mid-flight posture issues, prevent the dreaded "spin," and maximize the "energy in, energy out" transfer of the pole.
