How to pole vault higher?
Leslie is right, speed really helps. Make sure your swing-up is really fast…with a good knee drive. I find this helps when going into the vertical stage. Good practice for this is keeping a good knee drive and trail leg on a pull-up bar and swinging up from there. Also make sure you have your turn perfected…this will take a lot of time but i know vaulters who will suck at their turn, get is perfect and they will have vaulted a whole foot higher. If you are a girl, the best in the league vault around nine…and for guys…like 13. You will get better, but practice makes perfect. Concentrate on what your coach tells you to do b/c theres nothing worse than practicing a bad vault…make the little details count.
