Today was an awful Day to Vault.It Always Helps to Watch Your Videos, Your Terminology just Clicks Better than what My Coaches Explain to me
Happy something i said clicked! I'm sure for some other people i'm a nightmare to listen to. Like pole vault there are lots of ways to coach which is why that coaching/athlete relationship is so important.
Memories, this is the first of your videos I watched. Watching your channel is what really started my love of vaulting. Thank you for giving me something awesome to care about. :)
I'm jacked we get to enjoy the sport together! Thanks for making my day that much brighter!
I love watching the video reviews because I've seen my school and schools I've jumped at. I can even see my teammates in the background of one of the clips!
Haha right on! Make me a funny intro and i'll throw it in to vlog too!
Love your vids very helpful for me since I’m new coach
I appreciate that! Thanks for coaching and good luck this season!
The main reason I look forward to Wednesdays! Pole vault Vlog 😀 As of next week I won't get a chance to vault for like 4 months - so any pole vault inspiration would be awesome ( if there's any cool inspiration you've had? ) Also - the live feed could be sweet! A win-win for you maybe if you can powerhouse your way through a load of questions! hopefully everyone can tune in - and you could even get things rolling with your mental health Mondays too! Awesome as always Shawn!
Thanks Steven! I the live stream could be a really cool thing. Less editing for me and more impact. I'll try it at least once to see how it goes!
Hey Shawn, thanks for doing this for so long...you've helped me a bunch with all this information so i can explain to my kids in simplest possible way of how to get things done. I have a suggestion on what you can talk about next week. When vaulters learn to take off foot or more under, eventually their lower back starts to hurt and it creates a bunch of problems for them and for me because recovery process is so long, so can you give me and all of us watching some pointers how to correct that by doing certain exercises, how much the recovery should last, when to increase intensity and stuff like that. Thanks again
Great idea! I'll add it to my list!
Got on my biggest pole ever last night, and got there by 1. Running Harder and 2. Improving my technique!
Bing Bang boom!
live streaming would be cool! 😊
Live stream would be coooool
Phone Book Roller is what they do a clinic I went to for physio. They took a phone book and rolled it and then covered it in hockey tape, It works really well and when you're making it you can scale the hardness depending on how type you wrap the thing.
Great idea! That one is new to me
My hand grip slips when I plant and try to swing, any ideas on what to do?
I'm not sure what im doing wrong i've change to a different pole. Any advice? i wanted to send my video but im not sure what this week code is.
Hey Shawn! Age old Question!! Petrov Bubka (open up, all about the swing, "the 'row' is the pole unbending," zero delay in pv) VERSUS row hands forward as soon as you plant, tuck & shoot, and sometimes double leg swing? Which technical model wins
Depends on the athlete!
Live stream Q&A please. I'm in!
Its happening!
When will it happen? Or did already? Am I reading into your response incorrectly?
The live stream every 4 weeks would be dope
Another point for live stream!
gosh Shawn you just make polevault so much fun I pr ed again! now almost over 2 ft from last year
Congrats again man! 2 feet is a massive improvement!
I've been working on moving up poles so thank you for this! One question: I have a large lump/bruise in the crook of my thumb on top of the bone there from vaulting, is this because I am holding the pole wrong or is it just the fact that it's a heavier pole and I keep holding a lot of weight on that area? Did you ever have anything like it
On your bottom hand? Next time you run with the pole try to create a v with your thumb and index finger vs squeezing it so hard. another little trick is tucking your elbow in as close to your center line as possible. Hope I'm answering this corectly
Do the live stream!!!
Explains how to start on bigger poles at 3:15
thanks for the short cut~
Team Hoot Pole Vault Np mate.
Thank you
how can you better your swing?
Hey Shawn, I was wondering how to avoid collapsing your bottom arm after takeoff if you aren't working from the back of the pole like in Andrea's video
working from the back of the pole?
Team Hoot Pole Vault ya, my pole is too long so I can't grip it from the end, and I can't figure out how to keep my lower arm straight.
my school has a 130 11’ 6 then a 135 13’
Hey man, I'm not sure if you'll respond or not but I have 3 problems. The first is that when I go to plant my top arm is bending to my far right. My second problem is that I seem to kick out straight like a pencil at the end of my jump, the third is my biggest problem, even tho I can get over the bar, my arms knock it off when I go to push my pole away.
Actually, the second question asked in the number one pole vault rule video just answered my first question.
Did you go to NDSU? I see the jersey in the background.
Sure did! Did you?
I've been having this problem where I over analyze on what I need to do to get over the bar as I'm about to start running down the lane. My coach reminds me to just not think about it and to just do it. Is there any tips I can get on how to maybe clear my mind before my jump or should I actually be thinking on what I'm going to do?
So you have our conscious/thinking mind and our unconscience/ reacting mind. Our thinking mind is in charge of problem-solving and making sense of the world where or reacting mind reacts to the world, its also known as instincts. Or athletes call it being in the zone. You need both! You need the thinking mind to make changes so our reacting mind reacts in a way that makes you jump higher! Long story short, i like to focus on the 1 thing that will give me the most bang for my buck. Too much thinking or analysis can lead to nothing happening. I've heard a coach call it paralysis by analysis. For me it was looking at the box. That was my one big cure that worked the most. So pick one thing and focus on that!
Team Hoot Pole Vault Thanks a lot for your reply. I really am surprised to find such a helpful KZheadr like you and a really helpful community. Thanks.
Yo Shawn, I pole vault for my high school team and this season I moved up to a heavier pole and its also about a foot longer. I noticed that I am not bending it half as much as I used to bend my old pole and I think it is because I am gripping too far down. Can I just grip higher and run back to find my step and move up the pole or is there something else I need to do before?
Check this out! kzhead.info/sun/e6eFptdsjF9uh4U/bejne.html
My school and coaches would talk to other schools/coaches and we would trade poles with each other that no one was using
Thats the beauty of the pole vault community
Hey, so I'm 115lbs and I'm using a 11ft pole that's 120lbs. I'm doing a five left run up, and I'm about 3/4 of the way up the pole. I was wondering what I should do to jump sooner so I can get more time in the air to bring my feet up, as I'm not getting much bend at all. My jump usually consists of me being able to get to around 8' with only being able to bring my feet/legs horizontal to the ground. I don't know how to twist or invert, but the pole pretty much stays straight throughout my entire jump. I was wondering what I could do to better my jump, and get my feet up, twist and/or get inverted. I just have no clue how to start getting my form right, and I know it will improve my jump but I'm not sure if it's the flex of the pole, the weight, the height or my grip. I know my form is bad but I'd like some tips on how to start vaulting correctly. For some other info, I'm a guy and I'm a senior in high school who has been doing track all 4 years, and for a speed reference, I have a 300m time of 43.46. Thanks!
Hey Nick! If you look at old pole vault videos the first poles that were used were bamboo and didn't bend either! I actually have all my athletes start without bending the pole just to get the mechanics down. So you're right on track! This video will help with the invert! kzhead.info/sun/fa-veK6omIOgY6s/bejne.html
What do you mean by 5 and 6 lefts ( do you mean 10 steps and 12 steps or something else) that is what we say in England
Nailed it!
Thanks I was just a bit confused when you said it and where can I send you my video
kinda off topic but I need to retape my pole, any suggestions for tape/ methods? thanks
thanks
Hello my name is Joshua and i am a high school student. I weight 145lbs and i am on a 13”6 (height) 155lbs (weight) pole. We have a 14”9, 170 pole that i can move up to but i have a huge struggle being able to use the pole. It is super stiff but my run is five lefts and i am wondering if moving to seven lefts would help me out. I cannot bend the pole from the five lefts so i am curious if seven will help me along with technique drill? I appreciate your time truly.
That's a massive massive jump man. If i were you or you were one of my athlete's id try to find some smaller poles to eventually progress to that one. To break it down that's like going up 7 poles. Safe pole vaulting first and always. I'd reach out to clubs or other schools around the area and see if they have some of those poles for ya. If not, maybe talk to your AD and see if he would be willing to get a few poles to fill the gap. That buy 2 get 1 free or buy 3 get 2 free deal is still up for another few weeks. It might be worth looking into. The worst they say is no and you end up exactly where you are now.
How do you work on your swing and work on not pulling the pole to you
Practice with these drills kzhead.info/sun/eJVtcaufbqGelWw/bejne.html Then practice more!
what are the best pole vault spikes?
Good question, i'll add it to me list of ideas to talk about!
I can't get inverted.Everyone tells me to just swing but I don't feel it. I think it may be my because my jump leg instantly bends. Any tips?
Try these drills! kzhead.info/sun/fa-veK6omIOgY6s/bejne.html
Hi!! How do you bend the pole?
Check this out kzhead.info/sun/eq6tcslphXaNp5E/bejne.html
Hashteg?
Can you give me some cues for rocking all the way back?
kzhead.info/sun/fa-veK6omIOgY6s/bejne.html check this video out.
Video recommendation: How to use recoil to your advantage. This video would be fantastic and answer many questions that a lot of us have :)
Good idea! I'll add it to me list!
if you can help me out with somthing itd be much appreciated! I weigh 143 Ibs and I used a 145 pole and I started over bending that, I moved up to a 154 and after the second meet I started over bending that. I plan on using a 160 but it has a different flex and is 2 ft higher then the other two and it doesn't bend nearly as much. should I change my grip? it feels a lot harder to go heights that were once easy for me, its 13,6 and the highest i got on it was 9ft and thats not a hard jump for me. Should I wait till I'm faster to use it?
2 feet longer is a pretty big jump... Id try to take out a left from your current run and stay on the same pole and see what happens. This is just a guess based on not seeing the vault. Just be safe
Will do thanks for the tip!
hey man my season just ended and i dont really have anywhere to practice actual pole vaulting, i have been vaulting a 135 12 and i have been trying to do a 135 13,6 i think... is there anything i can do over the summer and fall to get myself ready for the longer pole (other than running and stuff)
btw im a hs sophmore
Thats actually what my training plan is for! Its designed to make you fast and strong over the summer so when track starts you're ahead of the curve. team-hoot.com/gear
thanks! i might have to look into it!
Hope you guys are having a great day! Anyone have any good jokes?
What's the difference between a hippo and a zippo? Ones a big and heavy and the other is a little lighter
Breaking your pole in warm ups for a meet
annnnd i'm stealing that joke haha
What do you call a man with no arms or legs and he's at your door; Matt.
What do you call a man with no arms or legs in the ocean? Bob
how do I send you one of my pole vault videos
Here ya go! www.team-hoot.org/gear/
I jumped up from a 130 to a 140 (I weigh 135) and I can't get onto the mat! I plant my pole go up about 11-12 feet but i don't continue onto the mat I just turn back around and bend my pole back to the ground it's frustrating, tips?
It's hard to tell without seeing a video... If you want me to take a look check out the description of this video and i can help you out
What if I am on a 12 foot pole and now I have to jump on a 14,9 pole
Reach out to a local club or school to find a better transition pole. Going from a 12 to a 14'9 is a bad idea. CHeck out this video to help kzhead.info/sun/a6lxqK6jaJZ-hHk/bejne.html
Live stream!!!
boom!
How can I contact you to send a video?
Team-hoot.org/Gear :)
Run faster?
That always helps!
Update for you Shawn: Ellie is now a State Champ, and only a sophomore!
Holy cow! Congrats to both of you! Be sure to give her the biggest high 5 for me. Super jacked for you guys!
Regarding the I am enough mental health matter… I think part of the problem is sexism in the sport. Women are expected to compete in a uniform similar to a bikini whereas men are NOT expected to compete in a speedo. It seems that people want to watch a sport where women are barely dressed but my question is why don't women wear the same type of shorts that men wear while competing? Wouldn't this take away a lot of the feeling of not looking sexy enough? If people really care about women's body issues, then why isn't there a movement to change the uniform for women in this sport?
You should listen to the podcast I did with Katie Nageotte. We talked all about this!
@@TeamHootPoleVault watching now, thanks!
wait wait wait.... so me eating hella cookies and donuts to gain weight isnt going to get me on bigger poles. This is an outrage!
Its worth a shot haha
