7 Pole Vault Drills you can do at home! 

“Hey guys welcome to the pole vault vlog where we talk everything anti-gravity stick jumping!!!!”

This might be the best 9 minutes a beginner/intermediate vaulter or coach could ever spend.

Medieval Times: Shot put = cannons; Javelin = hunters; Long Jump = moat jumpers; Pole Vault = Castle Vaulters (open the gate) 😂

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

Love this video and sharing with my team today! Pole Vault is just “Reverse Limbo”

im trying pole vault for the first time so this was very helpful

Congrats on the PR!! These are great drills to do when you're recovering from foot/ankle/leg injuries as well!! :) Thanks!

Love this! This awesome! We are doing this for our premeet Wednesday and I am sending pvc home with them!

This is so HELPFUL and generous with expertise!

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.

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. 💪💪🚀

This drills are very useful, it help to improve my jump definitely ,thank you bro

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!

I’m about to ask my coach to buy that book there.

Is that really a .5” diameter 10’ PVC? It looks thicker than that in the videos but the Menards tag says it is?

I would define pole vault entry as "long jump without using arms"

planting and turning is my problem bro, any special drills

Where did you get the pvc pipe and how long was it

I like the name Pole Jumping.
