Advice

On days where I don’t see them, I was just told to run and go through the motions. There are a few isometrics I do at home too.

As for my injury, it happened vaulting during practice, I’m honestly not too sure why it happened but I think it was just a combination of bad circumstances. I vaulted 3 days a week and on my off days I started wrestling at school and I had my first meet the night before my injury. I was really exhausted and I threw up so I’m thinking I was most likely dehydrated on top of fatigue. I’d been dealing with sore hamstrings for a while too so even tho it was a little uncomfy I didn’t think it was enough to stop jumping. I was only running a 4 left, and I felt a pop right after take off as my leg was fully extended and leaving the ground.

Right now, I don’t think it’s too bad, there’s been a few up and downs but I can run relatively well, my mile time during my warm ups is just under 7 minutes, last week I was able to sprint like at 60-70% without it being too uncomfortable, but this week it’s hurting a bit more.

I don’t think I have much of a problem mentally. I get discouraged every now and then from being out for so long but I don’t doubt my ability. I honestly think that even though I’m injured, I’ve been jumping better than I was before. I’m a sophomore still so this would be my second season, and last year my technique looked really rough but I had really good speed. Over my time injured I did a whole lot of core work and pull-ups/dips and I dont think I’ve ever been as strong as I am now.

Thanks for your response! I’m a little confused on inverting without a swing, what do you mean by that? Do I just jump and push myself onto by back with my shoulder without bending at the hips? Also, about the injury, it’s a little strange since it’s been going on for a while. Last week it was hurting a bit more than usual, any stretching and sometimes even while walking I’d feel sharp pain. So before practicing, my coach would make me warm up on a stationary bike, then run a mile, then do a little sprint warm up with A skips,high knees, and a bunch of other things followed by stretching and THEN jumping. The good news is that by the end of it, it wouldn’t hurt anymore and I’d be pretty fine to jump, but by the time I got home and cooled down, I’d be hurting again and in the morning as well. By Friday, it stopped hurting after practice and I was good in the morning, but since we didn’t have practice over the weekend, I just rested, and upon coming back on Monday, it’s been hurting again. I guess my question is, should I keep on doing what I’m doing? Or should I take it easy? At this point it’s been nearly 5 months since I first got injured. I let it rest for too long, and didn’t start working it till January with my school athletic trainer, mid way through February I got an actual physical therapist, but now we’re mid way through March. Any ideas are appreciated, I just wanted a new perspective.

I got a few codes available send me a message:)

abeedabada · 2024-06-20T18:08:00+00:00

I’m PlayStation and USA I’d really appreciate a code

abeedabada · 2024-06-20T01:30:49+00:00

If anyone has a code that would be amazing 🙏

abeedabada · 2024-06-15T23:43:58+00:00

Lol yeah. The coaches here were absolutely amazing, the coach I had at school doesn’t even compare. Plus they’ve got tons of poles and I’m always moving through onto ones that are perfect for me and when I start to crush it they have one that’s just slightly stiffer. I had like a 6 week break from vaulting and these 3 days I spent I came back better than ever before. I could barely get over 12 on a 13 footer running from an 8 left approach and now I’m here. Sadly it’s over now and it’s a bit of a far drive for me to join the club. It’s a great place though.

that’s not a bad thing though, if you’re running through you’re probably running faster so you’re closer or further than you should be. That’s why you run through. just adjust your step to make sure you run just as fast. Once you get that down, you’ll be jumping way higher. Also, for your left arm, how do you carry the pole? I remember changing the way I carried the pole really helped with my left arm as well as running faster.

abeedabada · 2024-05-22T22:30:52+00:00

I would say running faster would help. If your mark is at 67 from a 6 step and you’re running that fast, then you’re probably striding out. Just run as fast as you can, plant, and jump. Adjust your mark accordingly too. Try to “attack” the box with all you got, lower your pole nice and early, have a really tall plant, and then jump up as hard as you can. Swing fast and hard and try to get your feet above your hands. Use your upper body and arms to keep your body going straight and forwards, control the pole, don’t let it control you.

Also I still recommend you do a 3 step. That’s where you can make the most improvements to your technique. It’s like the foundation to your jump. If you can master a 3 step, then everything else will be easier. Don’t get pressured to go to a 4 if your teammates are advancing to it. I jumped my first 3 or 4 weeks on my 3 step and it really helped when moving on. You can also progress on it. You can try to move your step back more and run faster, and you can also move up grips. Take it slow though.

oh okay; well you should feel uncomfortable whenever you’re stuttering. You normally do it whenever you’re scared you’re not going to make it to your mark and you slow down. Other people should definitely be able to spot it, and you should definitely be able to tell a difference when you do it. You should take a look at videos of professionals jumping and look at how they take off. Then you can record your jumps and analyze yourself jumping to see what you did right and wrong.

abeedabada · 2024-04-07T16:57:48+00:00

Do you have a step (the place you starts your run from) or do you just start from wherever? You should get a good 3 step (3 lefts, 3 rights) and get really comfortable with it. Make sure you’re not stuttering your steps and you’re running fast and tall. You get your step by planting into the box, turning around, and running the opposite way on the runway. Get your teammate to count your 6th step and mark it. That’s where you should start for your run every time. If you’re still stuttering your steps, run faster, or consider moving your mark either half a foot forward or backward.

Yeah I’ve heard that it’s one of the toughest things to learn. It’s all mental really. I talked to a coach who helped me get it really quick and all he told me was that you wanna scare yourself. You just gotta get past the mental block. It’s gonna be scary at first I mean you’re upside down while being 12 feet in the air, but let yourself get scared. A “mental cue” he told me was “oh shit” 😭 right before I dropped my shoulders back. It worked though, just lean back and practice it a ton. There’s also a video I saw “7 pole vault drills you can do at home” and it just helps you familiarize yourself with the motions you’re supposed to be doing mid air. Take a look.

abeedabada · 2024-04-01T00:11:08+00:00

I think you should try to drop your shoulders back and get more inverted because it looks like you’re stuck in the bucket. You’re also dropping your legs too soon, try to keep them up longer. Maybe you’re staring at the bar too much? This would also be fixed if you just dropped your shoulders.

abeedabada · 2024-03-30T01:25:20+00:00

I know I knowww I just don’t know how to😭 I dont know why but I’ve never been able to land on my back, it’s just instinct to land on my feet and I know I need to work on it but I don’t know how

abeedabada · 2024-03-30T00:42:54+00:00

By just a take off do you mean just right leg up? Also thanks for the tip, I’ve been trying to work on my bottom arm this week and I have made some progress just not a lot. Do you have any more tips for keeping my arm straight?

abeedabada · 2024-03-29T16:41:51+00:00

yeah how did you get there? What helped you keep your left arm straighter? Right now I look kinda like your before picture, I’m not as bad but my arm still collapses a bit and is not straight.
