Of course I am aware that many of the better vaulters are trying to change - indeed I am in contact with some of them as they look for advice. So please do not lecture me - you really are not qualified to do so. But I still respect you!!
Alan, the number one rule on my site is be nice. If you're mocking average joe coaches you encounter, then keep it out the elite forum. I am not trying to lecture you, but I am the boss here and I am qualified to tell you how I want my site run!

Polevaultpower, the name should be changed to Becca's site of nice comments that I approve
Seriously, I think this site gets the hits it does because it's the only one of its kind. But hey when you're the only one you can do what you want. Ever played Monopoly? I'm sure I'll get banned and this post will last for 4...3...2..
I just enjoy the irony of online conflict. I guess I was just referring to the subject matter of this post. It seemed resolved on page one and then carried over into discussion of technique, At that point does it get moved to the technique section? Anyway, back to lurking in the shadows of the internet.
