Coaching High School T&F: Pole Vault

With Will Freeman,
Grinnell College Head Track & Field and Cross Country Coach;
former Chairman of USA Track & Field Coaching Education
Will Freeman leaves "no stone unturned" in this comprehensive instructional DVD for teaching and coaching high school vaulters. Coach Freeman provides excellent instruction and insight into many critical areas: What to look for in a vaulter, the technical breakdown of the pole vault, coaching tips to assist the beginning vaulter, a step-by-step drill progression for teaching fundamental and advanced skills, and common errors and corrections. He also demonstrates numerous training drills that incorporate hurdles, medicine balls, multi-jumps and vault-specific skills. In addition, Freeman provides a seasonal training plan, weekly and daily training breakdowns, and workout samples. This presentation can be used as your personal "pole vault resource center" for creating a training plan for successful pole vaulting.
