i broke my elbow (the radial head) and messed up some ligaments in there...
what can i do to stay in shape?

yesterday at practice the pole stood me up. i was an idiot and didnt hold on.. i came down in the box on my right heel. It is really painful and i cant put any weight on my heel at all. it feels a little better if i walk on my toes though. it also sort of shot up my shin and hurts there too.. is it ...

1. i have never used the MID.. i used to sort of lean back at take off because i was trying to invert right off the ground, but i think i have fixed this problem. and i dont feel like im stretching

2. im a sophomore girl on a 12' 130 holding at 10'6, i dont really bend the pole yet though

1) I have so much left in my swing and i know it, but i cant seem to use it to full potential. I think that when i see the cross bar i stop swinging. I know i stop way to early and know i need to be more patient with the swing and keep going rather then drop right at the bar. Does anyone have any su...

just wondering, how do girls and boys compare?
would say a 7' girls jump be equal to around a 10' boys jump?

well, i dont know if this is the exact situation that you are talking about, but i have a had sort of a similar problem. Just yesterday we had a big meet and i usually dont get nervous at meets but at this one i did. there is a new girl vaulting this year and she is really good. i think i was nervou...

minnesota weather sucks!! pretty much every meet so far has been horrible, last week it rained almost every day and even snowed a little
it looks like its almost turing to spring here now though!

so i have developed these bumps on my both my heels, they began during hockey season but werent too bothersome. but now when i pole vault they are very uncomfortable in shoes and spikes. they have even worn holes in my soccer shoes in this spot. they arent blisters because they isnt any liquid, and ...

ah 25 people! thats crazy! i wouldnt be able to handle that. im in the exact same situation as you! working hard in the off-season, having high expectaions from other people and from myself. and the new people getting all the attention.. im one of the few girls with any vaulting experiance at all ( ...

i am a sophomore in H.S. and here in minnesota theres still snow on the ground so we arent outside yet. we only have gym time to vault usually once a week for 1 1/2 hours. on top of that there are 15 vaulters this year, and 10 of them have never vaulted before this season, so they require a lot of h...

yep we do the rings just like you explained it..

yeah, it is frustrating at practice because im a girl and we practice with the boys and since their center of gravity is higher it makes the swing a lot easier then it is for a girl..
