Paul really was an amazing coach. I loved the discussions we would have on coaching, vaulting, counseling, and life during dusky summer practices. Good to know he soared over his final bar with ease -- he did always have such great form.

Yay when there's a proper emphasis on safety. Although I'm sure it's exceedingly rare to find, my coach set up a pulley system and had us situated in climbing harnesses attached to a spotting rope.
