Pole Vault for Intemediate Vaulters with Dave Emeott

Description

Take your pole vaulting knowledge to the next level with a deep dive into the critical mechanics and training systems that separate beginner jumpers from elite competitors. This comprehensive course breaks down the essential phases of the vault, offering detailed lessons on proper plant mechanics, takeoff execution, and the complex transition into the swing and turn. Through step-by-step technical analysis and targeted exercises—such as the "hands together" drill, pool training, and short-approach jumps—coaches and athletes will learn exactly how to correct common mid-flight posture issues, prevent the dreaded "spin," and maximize the "energy in, energy out" transfer of the pole.

This course is an absolute must for track and field coaches and intermediate vaulters because it goes far beyond just jumping; it teaches you how to train smarter. Alongside technique, you will learn invaluable strategies for managing multi-sport athletes through a "pitch count" system, structuring efficient practice schedules to prevent injury, and managing an athlete's energy reserves on a chaotic meet day. Whether you are looking to refine an athlete's pole angle at takeoff or build a sustainable, injury-free training program, this course provides the practical, actionable blueprints needed to reach new heights.
