After coming back a little sore, but in great spirits, the athletes and coaches picked up right where they left off on Monday. After a video session to start the day, we continued with a practical review of pole carry, approach, plant, and takeoff. In the afternoon we developed measured approaches and worked on swinging up. At the end of the session, we finished at the pit. With rain threatening, one of our new vaulters finished a great vault over a bungee to cheers from the group!
With still one more great day to come, eager discussions about the next camp and training are already coming up. The enthusiasm of the co-facilitators, coaches, and athletes has been amazing. With a day of hard work, skills development, and plenty of laughs, we are finding the essence of training for the Pole Vault!
