Re: how do you count steps
Okay, you know. I really don't know how to explain what it is that I do so that its easy to understand just by reading it. I will address one last thing though. Yes, consistant spots, I use them in like a meet but we're told to be able to jump from anywhere any other time; doing this gives us a good...

Re: how do you count steps
I mean 1 left, 2 lefts, 3 lefts... I'm pretty sure I know what you're describing... but it still doesn't make sense. First, how would not counting have anything to do with stutter stepping? That's only a function of your stride length/starting spot. But whatever... Please try to describe what it is...

Re: how do you count steps
The 1,2 and 3 steps I assume you mean my final three steps, yes? yeah, I have those. but I don't count them. I know where my last three steps start, no matter where on the runway I start from. I don't have to stutter step because i don't count. Without having a set number of steps that I think I nee...

Re: how do you count steps
who's to say my previous steps weren't executed correctly just because I didn't count them? If I don't count my steps when I walk does that mean I'm not walking correctly? Its all in the way you learned. I learned not to count my steps. Others learned to count steps. I don't think that means one is ...

Re: how do you count steps
Yeah, but I don't "guess" my steps, I just go, I don't worry about if I had uneven lefts and rights or more or less steps than someone else, the only thing that matters to me about the steps is that I plant with the correct foot and its a good plant. Otherwise if I run crooked with ten st...

Re: how do you count steps
haha...hmm. well, maybe our coach is nuts but he says not to count steps at all. His reasoning makes sense though, because which ever you do if you count as you run and you're off you stutter step or you concentrate so much on the steps you don't think about anything else. Plus his thing is that we ...

Re: You Might be a Redneck Pole Vaulter
haha the "If you don't change the tape because the blood stains tell you exactly where to put your grip." is so true for me! and another girl on my team... if when you get the "good" pits out you sink in and are virtually encased in them. if you have used a bunjee cord for a cros...

Re: pole vault quotes or funny sayings
Our coach always says "It's not cocky, it's confidence, but its only confidence if ya got something to back it up" and "Penetrate and Bend!" Then because our team is weird we name our poles he'd ask us our poles name then say "Find Javier's soft spot and use it! Bend him to ...
