Stuck In Pike
Posted: Fri Mar 01, 2013 7:20 pm
Aloha,
I have another vaulter who has the terrible habbit of A) being under by at least 1 foot, and B) staying in her pike. As the pole begins to fling her, she does not pull and her back is completely parallel to the ground the entire ride. As soon as she gets her feet over the bar, she lets them fall and tries to turn as she does it. She ends up short and typically skims the bar on her way down.
I'm sure a lot of it has to do with her takeoff, however, we've been trying for a couple of years to help with her step and nothing has worked. I have NEVER dealt with anything like this before and at first I thought it was something that would soon subside... I was wrong. Anyone else have this problem?
Any help would be amazing!
