He's right. At least get someone knowledgable to watch some of your vaults, and you can stay away from things like blocking and planting late much more easily.

If you dont have someone there, especially during this phase of your jumping, its really easy to form bad habits that get harder and harder to break as you jump more. If you have a coach he/she can keep you away from those types of things.

Well, the whole time i was learning to vault in HS, we didn't really have a coach... our PV coach was the hurdle coach and was never over with us so we mostly vaulted on our own.

Now that i'm jumping again i DO have a coach to watch and help and its good. He immediately pointed out some of my vaults problems and we're working on correcting them. This place is awesome because on top of my coaches advice i can get other vaulters' advice on here.

Practice yesterday was cancelled, so no new videos, but i will be practicing wednesday and thursday so i'll get on here sometime after that when i have new videos and post again!!!

Where DO you practice? Your set up sounds great! You've got practices all the time! I wish I had that. Maryland doesn't really have track clubs that I know of, especially near me.

Vaulted yesterday...

did warm-ups from three steps... must have pulled my quad during that because i moved back to 5 steps and couldn't even make it down the runway... :mad:

I'd give anything to take back the day i tore my ACL. ANYTHING.

my legs haven't been the same since.
