I have some insight from watching film and actually vaulting, as to why my step is under. Other than that stutter in the first video (which I don't normally do), I have noticed myself over striding on the last step or two. I don't mean to argue, but instead of moving my step back, shouldn't I keep t...

Well, as I understand it, the run is crucial to the vault because it starts the sequence that carries out the vault, and if not done correctly will mess all the future parts up. The run should be consistent, building up speed as you go, and you should aim to initiate the pole drop 3 steps before the...

I believe I know why I'm under. When I measure my takeoff, I may be too close.

I'm not necessarily worried about bending the pole with my bottom hand, I actually try to get both arms as high as I can at takeoff, which happens late from what I'm understanding, at least for me. I was concerned about the rock back because a coach told me that I don't do it. What exactly is blocki...

I'm between 162-165, so I'm over for the pole. It's all we have though. A foot under? I've measured up and it has been on? Should I be farther back on takeoff even from where I measured up? And as for jumping up and in to it, is it similar to a high jump takeoff? I've heard the basketball layup comp...

So, my problem is that I do not finish the rockback, and get my hips up the pole, rather I shoot them out and "flag out". I know as well that my arm is collapsing at takeoff, and that I stuttered a bit in my run. Those are works in progress, my big issue is the rockback. My school is not w...
