Re: Tall female vaulter and the swing
Altius: I suppose I should have been more clear. Being a foot under is not typical of my vaulter. This is just the video I had handy at the time.

Tall female vaulter and the swing
I am working with a fairly tall female vaulter who has hit a plateau in the development of her swing. She is consistently unable to get inverted before the pole Unbends.

It is really hard to get a correct mark for my steps in head and tail wind and crosswinds just seem impossible. I was wondering if anyone has some advice for deali...
