How does anyone learn the pole vault without sustaining major injuries? How do you cushion or protect for botched attempts where the vaulter falls backwards?

Asked by Big Run about 11 years ago

A Pole Vault coach spends a lot of time explaining the event as well as detailing what an athletes needs to learn inorder to do well...gymnastics, flexibility, running, tumbling, lifting weights are all part of the development for an aspiring pole vaulter.

If, and this is a big "IF" you are able to continue to grow and mature and stay interested in Track then there is every possibility that you will be able to compete at the D! level. Most young athletes who are very good in their youth, lose interest, get beaten by other athletes who mature later or just stop for some unknown reason or interest. But the odds favor you if you can maintain your interest.
