Re: my brother. stuck in pole vault exile
He's bending his trail leg.
Also, his doesn't have a great run...better high knees.
I"m sure there's people on here who will know what else to work on.
hope this helps!

Re: my brother. stuck in pole vault exile
He must stay behind the pole at take-off...
Tell him to shorten his run to 4 or 5 lefts, 7 is overkill right now. This will give him more of a chance to 'feel' rather than 'power through' the vault... Does that sort of make sense?
