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
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
@@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
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. 💪💪🚀
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!
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✌️
any tips for me i’m a freshman and i’m struggling to get onto a bigger and heavier pile because i’ve always used softer poles. highest i’ve gone is 11” 0’
@@elmoreglidingclub3030 I came here for exactly that question. The V16 plugs I found are for 1-1/8" ID, so maybe a 1 in. dia. pipe? Maybe? But based on Shawn's comment below (implies that it is indeed a 1/2") I might just buy the V16 and then go to Home Depot and figure it out that way
If you can do all of these up to toes to the bar, you're strong enough to invert! ruclips.net/video/E14AGg7ohb4/видео.html If you can do all of them with speed, you'll be an inverting machine!
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 ruclips.net/video/-zWCPCF50NI/видео.html
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!
This might be the best 9 minutes a beginner/intermediate vaulter or coach could ever spend.
I appreciate that!

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

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!
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!

Where did you get the pvc pipe and how long was it
Watch the first 20 seconds of this video
@@TeamHootPoleVault. I did. It’s 10’ long but sure looks larger than 1/2” diameter. So, what diameter is it?

@ Good idea. I may do the same. Thanks!!
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 can i buy one pvc pipe? In which stor? PS: living in sweden.
Awesome video and get the book
I appreciate that coach!
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 👍
Thanks
I’m about to ask my coach to buy that book there.
Hope it helps!
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
What exactly is the V16?
Its the size of the butt plug that fits on the PVC!
Qiestion: How do you know if your strong enough to invert?
