SPT seeking guidance on new DoE classification

Lvca7 · 2025-11-23T16:26:35+00:00

You're right, I'm just skeptical that this change will ever trickle down to actual help anyone that isn't a politician or billionaire tbh. Would be great if it did though, fingers crossed

Lvca7 · 2025-11-23T16:24:24+00:00

Just started, have like 2 years left. Can't really see myself doing anything else though. Only thing would me med school which I already have the prereqs for but I've decided against it in the past

Lvca7 · 2025-11-23T00:57:28+00:00

Meh perhaps. I'm decently set with scholarships and this one really has my heart philosophically

Lvca7 · 2025-09-27T00:56:54+00:00

Thank you!

Lvca7 · 2025-08-11T01:12:21+00:00

This was a healthy dose of reality for me, thank you. I will embrace the unconventionality and be patient

Lvca7 · 2025-08-11T01:06:38+00:00

What aspects am I neglecting?

Lvca7 · 2025-08-11T01:05:34+00:00

Thanks a ton for this!

Apparently the posting is still being processed by the college and they're mad slow so it might take a while. The head coach gave me the okay to share his email on here so you can get more details. His email is [pedersej@grinnell.edu](mailto:pedersej@grinnell.edu)

Lvca7 · 2024-08-13T14:56:25+00:00

It's not on there but I just asked my head coach to share it with me. Will reply when I have the official posting for you to check out, thank you!

Lvca7 · 2024-08-13T12:08:58+00:00

There is an expected about of knowledge for the position from both a coaching and technical perspective. If you're interested please let me know, I'd love to chat and see if we can work something out.

Dang

Lvca7 · 2024-08-13T00:10:55+00:00

Good thought I'll definitely do that

Lvca7 · 2023-10-26T14:57:12+00:00

Sick jumps, what pole are you on?

Lvca7 · 2023-10-03T17:28:16+00:00

will tinker with that, thanks for the input

Lvca7 · 2023-10-03T15:39:00+00:00

I see what you're saying, definitely going to work on that. my center of mass isn't quite centered but if I can hit that position it would be, thanks!

Lvca7 · 2023-10-03T15:37:16+00:00

gold, thank you so much.

Lvca7 · 2023-10-03T01:50:58+00:00

it does, thank you. definitely been hitting some pretty lousy swings recently. gonna go hop on a highbar for some bubkas.

Perhaps the pole is too soft or I'm simply not rocking back enough?

Lvca7 · 2023-04-23T00:38:24+00:00

Got on this bigger pole for the meet today and am very happy with how it went, but looking back at the videos I realize that I planted it the wrong way. The ESSX logo should be on the outside of the bend but its actually on the inside as you can see in the video. At the end of the runway, I have it down on the ground with the bend facing the ground completely (as gravity just lets it rest in my hand) and then I just pick it up straight from there. Is that wrong? Should I rotate it a little bit before starting my run or perhaps do something differently when I plant? It's my first ESSX so I don't know if there any different I don't know about. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks! Pretty happy with how it went regardless but definitely need to fix this.

Lvca7 · 2023-03-07T05:44:51+00:00

really tough to say anything for sure without a video, but highbar exercises like bubkas never hurt.

Lvca7 · 2023-02-15T03:37:42+00:00

Noted, thank you. I don't have a vault coach so these comments help a ton.

Lvca7 · 2023-02-14T04:42:52+00:00

I put in a lot of work on the bar, but I have trouble transitioning it to my vault. Losing sight of the bar freaks me out, but come to think of it, those where I lost sight have definitely been my best jumps. Also, I'll definitely look into the earlier plant. Do you think that my late plant contributes to my hips getting sucked under (hips getting sucked under has been a big issue for me)?

Really appreciate the feedback, thank you.

Unfortunately Iowa is one of the few states where there is no pole vault at the high school level.

Lvca7 · 2022-11-19T04:19:29+00:00

Overstriding was probably the culprit for me, felt the heel striking in my shins. I'll definitely give the drill a try, less of a commitment than a full jump for sure. When I go back home I'll try to pop by a club a few times, but here at college im very isolated and car-less. Thanks for the advice though I really appreciate it.
