I’ve always had an issue being a heavy vaulter lacking power at takeoff while being under. Is there any advice on how to not lean back while planting?

How did I end up here

What device did u use tu film please ?

It would have been a game changer to have the technology, equipment, and expert coaching back in 1977! My name is Rod Lambe, I set the Meadowdale High School record in Pole-Vaulting in 1977 at 14.8.25 feet. It was a discipline and sport that I loved. I have held this record to this very day 47 years and would love to coach a vaulter to beat it! I wish all you high school and college pole-vaulters to go for your dreams. You can do this with the right commitment, discipline, and being coachable. Let's go for your dreams!

Thanks I'm gonna watch my kid's videos from this week and think about what you said.

I do a 5 step lol

Please voice your opinion if you agree that I'm right. 74% of all catastrophic injuries and fatalities are due to the lethal "steel box" sunken in concrete!! It's not necessary to use steel and concrete in the fabrication of the box. It can be eaily made of softer composite material or plywood on rubber mulch.

Hi! Did you see my comments about the steel box? We, as parents and coaches can change that to a soft pliable box very easily by refusing to go along with the UCS and other pole manufacturers that heavily influence the High school and collegiate rule committees.

Look up the paraplegic girls and boys in wheel chairs who landed in the box or on the concrete pad. They are coached to blame themselves just like you!! Sorry but you won't be able to speak to the ones who died.

Your putting out this video because you know I'm right and you are good heartedly trying to save others from what you call "your mistakes". It's the box and technique. Not your lack of warm up!!!

Oh and I still have the record at my university after 40 years. I ended up with broken bones in my back and arm.

The is also an easier way to bend any pole that is impossible with the current box!

I spent three days in the hospital by landing from 16 feet plus in the air. Concrete shouldn't be used in the plant box area. It's not your fault ! It's the coaches and lazy people who already know the box should be redesigned!!!

Funny how you blame yourself and not the "steel box with sharp edges sunk into concrete"??? Ask your coach why it has to be such hard materials??? See what he says!

Why do this, what’s gained

Should I use a pole under my weight

I am a vaulter at a small liberal arts college. I’ve recently found that I can correctly bend a 15 foot pole but it ejects me right above the box, where I nearly pee my pants. I see that I don’t have the strong, fast swing up that many pro vaulters have. I had just recently accomplished a tall take off thinking it would be enough to solve all my problems. Far from it, I feel like I have more now. May I get some advice on a drill or two (from anyone) that will help me learn this snappy trail leg the pro’s seem to have?

Hello. M English is not good enough, but if I have understand your technique : don't tak of UNDER it's false. It's better to take off UNDER ( little or long distance) in ever case. The distance is fonction off your power( speed, detente and the strong th of your "ischiaux" ...). You can see all the greatest pole vaulters are under. I am coach of Pole valt. Are wise, even if it's a very good technique for you or your brother, for me each pole valter must have his own technique from the beginner to to end. For me it's no universal rule. En FRançais : Pour le piquet en general on doit (we must) etre plus ou moins en dessous selon le rapport de sa puissance(detente vitesse, épaules...) et celle de la perche.

Hey I need your help. I’m trying to learn how to straight pole better. My main issues with straight poleing are locking out my bottom arm and spinning around when I invert up. I know the reason why I’m spinning is because I’m locking out the bottom arm but even when I don’t lock the bottom arm I still spin around and land on the mat facing the runway. How can I fix this issue?

Where was the box collar?????????

I just started this pole vualt I’m at 5 Ik that terrible but I know I need to work on speed and I need to work on swing but could you give pointers

0:40 deadass though bro just sat up and jumped over it again for a hot second and was like "wut"

Could you please do a video on how you run with your pole your run is very long and fluent and I can’t seem to mimick it

Sou do Brasil ! Pratiquei salto com vara quando jovem e ainda sou apaixonado.

It's a nice lesson I learned thanks, this steps will lead me to be upcoming champion 💪

Thank you Winder! I'm a brand new vault coach and am very thankful for everything that you do. You help preserve the sport and encourage us newbies greatly!

You was too slow lost your right knee (that’s why you broke your back not because of your pole)

Great video and workout. But stepping on the bleacher seats is exactly the same (rise and run) as doing the double concrete steps, other than the very first step.

Thanks

Can you give any advise on how to turn? Like my peoblem is I can't clear 8 because I don't turn over the bar it's like I sit on it. I'm a freshman and this is my first year vaulting

I’ve been trying to explain this to my vaulters I have different terminology but this VISUALLY explains what I’m talking about. This video is a great staple for my vaulters! Thank you!

So I know this is from four years ago, but I'm hoping that you can tell me where you got the pull-up station that you use in this video. It looks incredibly stable while you're doing these exercises.

Love this! We only use bars at practice but the same principles apply.

This is an incredible video!😃😎

These are excellent descriptions and demonstrations of these exercises. They are clear and concise with no superfluity. I'm doing these with my beginners but I believe I will be able to explain it better now. Can't wait until the next practice.

Very nice lesson.

I need to know where to get the rack or station to do these drills?

Thank you for being simple and to the point

I just broke my vertebrae snowboarding. I overshot a jump and landed on my back on ice. 30 foot jump

That was in incredible thank you you I learned so much

I've been vaulting for about two months and i'm vaulting 9'6'' but without a turnover. Whenever I turn over I hip the bar (I can get over 9 with a turnover) and I was wondering if 9'6'' is too low to use this because I'm not in the air for as long?

I pole vaulted yesterday with 0 practice because we don’t have a pole vault pit or coach that knows how it works, but the other team had a pit, so I decided to give it a go. I got 9’0, which autoqualifies me for regionals since there are hardly any pole vaulters in our league. I’m hoping I can learn the turn and arm extension in 8 days with no practice (sounds unrealistic I know). I want to reach 10’6 in regionals which would qualify me for the sectional semis.

Bro I think in the first few seconds we get what you mean but you should explain by showing us what he was doing before during the drills and how it looked after and if it increased his hight at all

i thought he was a goner when he took off from there

That’s an ancient warm up method; that trains a collapsed lower arm for the kid.

Imma do these before my meet and see if this can help me improve my swing

🚨REMEMBER🚨 God loves you and has a plan

I tend to shift my hands down the pole when I plant my pole, any suggestions on how I can get over it?
