“Hey guys welcome to the pole vault vlog where we talk everything anti-gravity stick jumping!!!!”
haha!
This might be the best 9 minutes a beginner/intermediate vaulter or coach could ever spend.
I appreciate that!
@@TeamHootPoleVault "jousting for height"
The lock/jump is such a useful tip. I’m a vaulter at WSU and have been struggling w the takeoff just due to a strong habit of late plants which is so hard to fix but these drills and cues are very helpful for this issue
It was a game-changer for me when I was jumping too!
I am freshman in highschool that has plateaued at 10’6 and I am trying to clear 11’00 so I can go to the state competition in Washington actually, I have a problem with going straight up because I can get parallel with my pole really fast so I got up and come straight back down on the bar or the box and this is with 18’ standards so I am trying to learn how to turn also
I can get enough height to clear 12 feet and it is infuriating because I can’t clear 11’00 because I land on the bar
@@hovisjrt5065 you just gotta penetrate more, you should try practicing on deeper standards from now on, like somewhere around 28-30” instead of 18” bc it’ll help you lock in the best pole and run that you should use in competition so you can make bars. Right now you’re vaulting on the most shallow standards possible and if you don’t penetrate enough in a meet you can’t move the standards any closer so you’re screwed. The main things you can do to penetrate better is to have a nice tall, powerful takeoff, go down a pole, or run faster. The run faster part is more of a long term solution that’ll come w time as you train over the years, but definitely perfecting the take off will always help in the vault
Medieval Times: Shot put = cannons; Javelin = hunters; Long Jump = moat jumpers; Pole Vault = Castle Vaulters (open the gate) 😂
im trying pole vault for the first time so this was very helpful
I'm jacked you and the sport found eachother! Good luck this season!
Love this video and sharing with my team today! Pole Vault is just “Reverse Limbo”
Haha it totally is!
Congrats on the PR!! These are great drills to do when you're recovering from foot/ankle/leg injuries as well!! :) Thanks!
I didn't even think about that! Thanks for the reminder!
Love this! This awesome! We are doing this for our premeet Wednesday and I am sending pvc home with them!
Let me know how it goes!
Now that I've been to a camp this video makes so much more sense and (therefore) means SO much more to me. And that is a serendipitous (I love opportunities to use that word) occurrence for attending that camp. Keeping the fuel on the embers until next season starts.
I'm jacked the camp helped ties some of these pieces together! That's the goal all along! serendipitous is a good word that you now just added to my repertoire! Hope our paths cross again soon!
This drills are very useful, it help to improve my jump definitely ,thank you bro
YOu're very welcome!
This is so HELPFUL and generous with expertise!
Happy it helped!
Great job again Shawn! Like how you do the walking with the pole with high knees and a marching action with your feet in front of you. I've always liked to make a tape box on the track to do measured pole runs and plants. Creating bend while there's a mechanical connection with the ground is more efficient. I like how you say that stretch is in the shoulders and chest and not the abs. That creates too much collapse. Staying strong with that top arm like you say transfers energy into the pole. Those rockbacks with the pole at an angle us great because you move your legs first getting your legs over your hips before you crank the hips up higher. That exercise dropping the shoulders to lay on your back has always been a good one. I like to have the vaulters to hols their feet slightly off the ground when they do that. The turn and extend up the bent pole against the wall is great. Your explanation of staying in line with the pole while doing that is spot on! If you'd like to build that invert strength at home there's the Swing-Up Rack. You would need a sturdy chin-up bar to hang it on. The inexpensive PV Topper is great to help stay in line during the turn and extending up the pole because it creates an elastic connection between the pole tip and trail leg foot. If your hands get out of that elastic line you can really feel how difficult it is. For more info SwingUpRack.com or Instagram @polevaults Keep killing it Shawn! Always fun to watch too!! Buy his book! Its an awesome system! It ties everything together. 💪💪🚀
Thank you Captain Tim!
Love it
Thanks
Love all your videos ...can you give me the size for the PVC pIpe in Metric
Thank you so much for the tips and drills I’ll have to get the book sometime...I polevault at Stockton MO Middle school it’s my last year in middle school I could use those tips for this season coming up my used to hold our high schools record but it got broke but thank you a million times thank you✌️
Keep having fun with it! I bet you'll surprise yourself at how much you progress in this sport! Good luck this season, i'm rooting for ya!
Get his book!! 📕 it’s the best book I’ve learned from!! Go Shawn
Thanks man!
Great video.

Great video!!
Thanks man!
What is a V16 to hat you put on end of pipe and is one size pipe ok for all ages and weights? Looking for one for 50kg teenage athlete 👍

Awesome video and get the book
I appreciate that coach!
Big sticky jump
Ground Jousting
Bendy stick jumpers (my personal favorite)
Hey Shawn, I was wondering if you have any drills or tips to help with staying out of my head/trusting my run when vaulting? My biggest problem is nothing technical, it’s just I’m thinking too much. If I get flustered once it’s game over for me because I keep trying to fix my last vault but that makes me mess up again and repeat. Whenever I start having fun I vault better but I don’t know to flip that switch on purpose if that makes sense. Thanks!
It it truly is thinking too much, your mind can only focus on one thing at a time. So try to focus on one thing like the feeling of the pole in your hands, or what you're hearing while you run and plant. Check this out kzhead.info/sun/YN6Qc7R7fWdmgYE/bejne.html
@@TeamHootPoleVault thanks Shawn!
The pole throwing person thing
Stick yeet
I’m about to ask my coach to buy that book there.
Hope it helps!
You must be crazy to wake up and say, “today, I think I’ll turn myself in to a human slingshot”
Haha
Is that really a .5” diameter 10’ PVC? It looks thicker than that in the videos but the Menards tag says it is?
I might just be a small dude haha
planting and turning is my problem bro, any special drills
Check out my other videos! I have lots on turning and planting. Type Team Hoot Plant or turn into the search
Where did you get the pvc pipe and how long was it
Watch the first 20 seconds of this video
Pogo sticking
I would define pole vault entry as "long jump without using arms"
Qiestion: How do you know if your strong enough to invert?
If you can do all of these up to toes to the bar, you're strong enough to invert! kzhead.info/sun/eJVtcaufbqGelWw/bejne.html If you can do all of them with speed, you'll be an inverting machine!
@@TeamHootPoleVault awesome, thank you!

I like the name Pole Jumping.
pole vault = using physics to defy gravity
Oooh you should call it pole dancing with a pilots license 😂
Haha
I am a (VERY) old former trackster and would love to try the pole vault. Can you recommend a beginner's pole? This video is a keeper and I am going to subscribe now. (P.S. Is age 64 too old to start? I am not kidding).
You're just a baby! 64 sounds like the best age to start! If you're looking for some other masters to help you out let me know. I can put you in contact with them!
@@TeamHootPoleVault You are too kind, sir. How do I reach you other than here? P.S. I was cleaning out an old rental property that used to have a shed they stored equipment for the school next door. I found a "Sky Pole." Bad shape, but cool to find. I guess it was THE pole to have back in the 60's. (?) Look forward to hearing from you.
@@runninggirl2765 That's a pretty cool piece of pole vault history you've got there! Yea, shoot me an email at Teamhootpv@gmail.com and I'll start making a list of people you can connect with!
@@TeamHootPoleVault THANK you!! I will be in contact. YOU have encouraged me and better than that, did not poo-poo my ambitions!
