Pole Vault Progression - 7th-10th Grade (0’-13’) Middle School - Sophomore Year

- I’ve been pole vaulting since 7th grade and I just finished my sophomore year in high school. I don’t have a video for every single meet I’ve competed in, but I have a lot of them. I know 100 subscribers isn’t a lot, but I wanted to make a video when I hit 100 subs so I thought a progression video was a good idea. I started vaulting in 7th grade because my friends talked me into it. It’s crazy to think that I’ve been vaulting for 4 years already. Time truly does fly when you’re having fun :)

Not only did your pole vault improve, but your haircut did too 😮
Fr lol
keep up the great work man
You know what Jackson I really think you'll go big in whatever you put your heart to be it band, swimming, or something in track and field. I believe in you, keep pushing your limits. and great job 🥇
Thank you 🙏😁. I can’t wait for you to come visit at band camp in the summer
Damn bro the improvement is beautiful and the graceful landings 💯🤌🏽
your form definetly improved a lot, its looking way better. I am a pole vaulter at Sam Houston and a couple of things that I see in your videos that I think could be very benificial to improve would be your run, your pole cary, and your grip. While running you should try and be tall and get your knees up, this will help you run faster and it will help you be taller at take off so that you arent getting hit when you take off. Running taller will also help your pole cary, I noticed in the videos how you were almost jousting and that will slow you down because you are trying to hold the pole up the whole way. If you start with the pole higher and slowly bring it down as you run it will help you not be squatty and feel like you are falling into the pit. finally your grip, It slowly got better throughout the years but I still feel like your hands are a little close together, if you widen your grip like a fist or so it will help you bend the pole a little easier so you can get on bigger poles.
Thanks! I’ve been working on a lot of these things recently 👍
As a pole vaulter who was self taught for 2 years, you are very lucky to have had Texas exspress 😊 I wish I had that, but you’ve come a long way. Keep it up ❤!
I’m very grateful for them 😁. Thank you!
Way to put in that work
polevault is the
best track event. I love it
I love pole vault too
Man as an another pole vaulter this I great to see I’m sophomore in high school just getting done with my district meet I got 2nd In pole vault but the main point is your doing great with what your doing keep posting I would love to see more improvement 🏅👍
Thank you! That’s cool that you got second 😎 I didn’t get to go to my district meet cause I was on a band trip, but I might’ve gone to the area meet had I gone cause third place only got 12’6”. What was your height?
I messed up on my other comment but I got 13’7.25” first was 16’1.50”
@@gabefessler9523 Nice 😎
Keep it up!
Hey great job on the progress! I have a few questions, so this year is my first year pole vaulting (7th) and my conference meet is soon, do you have any tips on form, running, etc?
What height are you at?
5’6 😭
@@DrLunaR6 I’d say try to focus on keeping your arm on the inside of the pole and getting your legs up high. Keeping your arm on the inside will help you go straighter. Also it will help to focus on your turn and pushing the pole away.
@@jacksonpvd6818 thank you
so work on your plant. you take off from a different point everytime. You are usually way under on your plant. It will effect you on longer bigger poles and higher heights.
Oh yeah I definitely have to keep working on that lol
Did u get a pole yourself, or did your school provide one?
My school provides some and I rent some from the club I train at
how long is the pole you used
It was a 13’
How far back is your 6 step?
70ish
What’s yours
@@jacksonpvd6818 69' 3" and my pr is 9' 9". I feel like I could do so much more if I was able to get inverted, but I spent the entire year trying to do that and making no progress. Also I'm a handgrip away from the top of a 13' pole, what are you at?
@@ohtoasty4297 I am at the top of a 13’ pole and my PR is 13’. Inverting is very confusing lol. I struggled for so long on it. The best advice I can give you is:
1. Don’t pull on the pole mid-vault. You want to have a strong plant and you can’t invert well if you pull on the pole and muscle your way up and over. Keep pushing.
2. Inverting is very similar to how you start when your about to start running with the pole. You want to get into that position when your upside down and get your arm on the inside of the pole.
3. Practice lol. Look up some invert drills on CZcams.
If you have any questions, let me know 😄👍
@@jacksonpvd6818 Thanks, knowing you're at the same grip definitely gives more confidence
