I read this one in a mag..

" A personal Best is a moving target.....It doesn't let you bask in it's glory, it doesn't let you take the rest of the week off; becuase the moment you get the there the next run starts."
Always Improve...Always Evolve...Never Give up...

I have one from a coach "Why are you thinking, your just a polevaulter, I am the coach."


I agree, I like the sprinter one 2.

Hey! I got a couple quotes. :idea:
~I'll touch the sun or die trying.~ Our coach says that.
~My biggest muscle is my pole.~

That's about it. My lightbulb kinda went out.

This quote is a bit heavy but it probably does apply to pole vaulting. It comes from USAF Colonel John Stapp who spent his professional life studying the effects of very rapid positive and negative accelerations on the human body - his own!

He said, "The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle".

He apparently made this comment when he noticed that a technician had incorrectly wired a critical component of the rocket sled he was about to ride. :(
