Introduction:
Grabber: Have you ever wanted to free-fall from 8-15 feet? Well as a pole vaulter you can!
In it for me: Not only is it a lot of fun, but it is also great exercise and a way to become physically fit.
Thesis: Pole vaulting is a super fun sport that everyone should learn how to do.
First I will show how to choose a pole, then the correct hand placement on the pole, jumping form, and the runway.
Let's start with pole selection.
The weight of the person is the most important factor when choosing a pole.
Weight of pole can also determine pole choice.
Pole length can become a factor once a person becomes more experienced and needs a longer pole.
Next we will move on to hand placement.
In starting position the right hand needs to face

Arms also need to be directly over feet and completely straight.
Let’s look at the runway now.
First you need to plant to figure out where you have to start from.
Then you turn around and put your left foot where the toe of your foot previously was.
The next part, counting back your step, is usually a two person job.
So now I will show you the runway and the plant.
I am unable to show the follow through of the jump but I will explain it.
After the plant you need a “Springy take off and jump tall” (Coach Hill).
Then you need to bring your feet up and have your “hips above your lips” (Coach Hill).
Then once you are over the bar you need to turn in midair so that you now face the pole and bar.
Then you have to throw the pole back towards the direction you came from so it won’t hit the bar.
Conclusion
When learning to pole vault everyone needs to make sure that they choose the correct pole, have correct hand placement and jumping form, make sure they count their steps back correctly, and they have to do all the steps to follow through.
Pole vaulting is an amazing sport and everyone should try it!
With practice you could learn to fly as high as 15 feet high in the
A basket toss in cheerleading is a skill that is required in every routine taken to competition, it is a checkmark on the score sheet. A basket toss is when you have two bases, a back and a flyer, and sometimes a front. The side bases main job is to make sure they use the most force and proper technique possible to throw the flyer into the air. The backs main job is to guide the flyer through the right path in the air so he/she does not go flying forward or backwards, the front also does the same. The flyers job is to stay super tight in the air by squeezing their bum cheeks together and flexing their abs.
Everyday forward I'm going to call myself a coward or a baby until I make myself hit the jump. Not to mention how much humiliation you are going to feel if you have people watching you. Even after you send the jump you are going to still beat yourself for acting like a coward, because after you realize how easy it was you just can't get the thought out of your head of how much of a baby you were. This doesn't just go for jumps either you can get in your head about anything like corners or not going fast enough just the little tedious
A loud noise sounds as you throw down the bar after you make the lift. Grabbing a small metal plate, you slide it on the bars smooth surface raising the weight on the bar. You grab the chalk and lather it on your hands, noticing how the powder feels sticky. Loud chants and screams coming from your teammates trying to pump you up. You squat, letting out a roar of adrenaline on the way up.
Brachialis or Anterior Capsular Elbow Strain With Rehab Brachialis or anterior capsular elbow strain is also known as climber’s elbow. The brachialis muscle is important for flexing the forearm at the elbow joint. This condition occurs when the brachialis muscle in your upper arm is inflamed or when you have a strain in the front of your upper arm (anterior compartment). This condition causes pain in the front of the elbow. This condition is usually an overuse injury that at first causes minimal pain, and slowly progresses.
When one cradles the dominant hand goes on the top near the head of the stick and the bottom hand in the middle. Take the stick and make the ball face one’s ear on the player's dominant side. Then make sure the ball is facing one’s face and bring it to one’s other ear. Keep repeating this method, when it feels right try running while cradling. If the ball falls out check if the ball is facing one the whole time, and that it is going from ear to ear.
His right-hand rests next to his hip in a fist form. With it rotated upward, having the back side of the fist pointing downward. The left hand has his finger pointed upward. His index to pinky finger extended fully (not hyperextended). The thumb is bent at the interphalangeal joint inward so it rests on/below the flange.

In order to reduce strain on the throwing arm and capitalize on control and velocity the pitcher must perform the stride phase efficiently and effectively. To achieve a proper stride phase, the pitcher must keep a stable back leg at all times to keep a balanced position throughout the phase besides the follow-through phase. Although, the follow-through phase has to be controlled so that the height of the ball when release will not decrease. Another action that can hinder the weight that transfers is how the front leg lands. If the front leg lands stiffly, it will cause an increase of negative force which will reduce the weight transferred while the opposite holds true
I automatically halted to a stop and run into the green mat that softens my landing. I am filled with adrenaline. There is nothing like zip lining across Deck
These jumps are done for fun yet the boys see them as a routine, something that has to be done.
In the United States, we measure the string tension in pounds and it generally ranges from about 35-70 lbs. Low string tension offers a range of pros and cons The pros of a lower tension include more depth, feel, spin and comfort. The cons of a lower string tension include less control of the ball.

Say you own a pole on a platform, that’s secured by a square wooden base.
I check my watch as I race to catch my first ever Austin Metro bus home. My metro bus ride to school in the morning proved disastrous. Taking the southbound rather than the northbound bus had left me confused while waiting for the return bus and embarrassed while explaining the reason for my late arrival to school. It 's 4:33. Oh man.
