Drill 2
Two step plant drill. This is a two-step running take off
starting with the arms above the

LESSON NOTES
 The plant phase is very important.
 If you get this wrong the rest of the vault will likely go wrong.
 It is important for the athlete to keep their head looking up, not down at the box, as in athletic movements the body follows the
head.
 Both hands should be pushing the pole up above the shoulders, with the palms aiding this upward push
 The goal of this phase is to efficiently translate the kinetic energy accumulated from the approach into potential energy stored
by the elasticity of the pole, and to gain as much initial vertical height as possible by jumping off the ground.
 The plant starts with the vaulter raising his arms up from around the hips or mid-torso until they are fully outstretched above
his head, with the right arm extended directly above the head and the left arm extended perpendicular to the pole.
 At the same time, the vaulter is dropping the pole tip into the box.
 On the final step, the vaulter jumps off the trail leg which should always remain straight and then drives the front knee
forward.
 As the pole slides into the back of the box the pole begins to bend and the vaulter continues up and forward, leaving the trail
leg angled down and behind him.
