A forum to discuss overall training techniques, nutrition, injuries, etc. Discussion of actual pole vault technique should go in the Technique forum.

I've tried them, they work a little bit. I find actual ear plugs are a bit distracting b/c i can hear my heart beat when I run down the runway. I like a skull cap or ear muff headband better, it actual covers the entire ear opening from the wind yet I can still hear.

If it helps, it helps. There is no such thing as "just" a mental advantage. A mental advantage is a crushing advantage.
