Pole Vault Illustrated Overview and Update.

Be sure to check the Pole Vault Illustrated Archives at right:  There are 58 posts to-date, beginning January 1, 2009.  One disadvantage of blogs is the viewing-display of posts.  Entering a blog, you see the newest post and some recent ones, but to really get a good blog overview -  you should really select some of the older and first posts (which are archived in the older posts).  You can access the older posts by selecting the years and months within the archives, or by scrolling to the bottom of the page and selecting "older posts".

If you've been following Pole Vault Illustrated, check the archives - as I have recently added more photos and captions to older posts.

Leave comments if you read a post that prompts any pole vaulting questions or discussion.  I really enjoy discussing pole vaulting technique, safety advances, and theories.

I am currently amassing my many illustrations and coaching notes to adapt to book form and it should be available in the not-too-distant future.

Here are links to two of my older posts (... you might find them helpful in improving your pole vault technique).  The True Secret of Effective Modern Pole Vaulting and The Swing is A Key Element in Pole Vaulting.

Pole Vault Beginners: Getting Started.

Hello and welcome to all you pole vaulters out there.

I began this blog to help any of you who are wondering how you can improve your pole vault - and also to help beginners who want to learn safe and effective vaulting techniques. After 40 years of combined vaulting and coaching (with several champions to my credit and records of my own), I believe I am just the person who can help at any level of the event.  

I will be submitting numerous illustrations and videos on this blog - to help define the vault in easy to understand steps. Keep checking this blog on a regular basis and ask questions. You will soon be on the fast track to pole vault success.

Leave your comments in the form below this post and I will try my best to answer them.
