Is pole vaulting as hard as it looks?

1, 2, 3.

Never tried the pole vault? Don't worry, it's as easy as one, two, three! Well, one, two, three, four, five, to be exact. The pole vault can be learned in five phases.

They are;

  1. the approach
  2. the plant
  3. the takeoff
  4. the swing
  5. the clearance.

Pole vaulting is a method. It is a dynamic sequence of movements combined with strength, speed and flexibility. Perform these steps in order and you'll get over the bar and into the pit.
