Developing a Pole Vault Approach: 8 Step Short Approach Take Off With Towel Box Drill

This is an 8 step short approach take off with a towel as a box. This is a very good drill to teach the athlete on how to steer the pole towards the box appropriately, Again we should have done all of our poll drop drills in order for the athlete to have the proper timing of the pole drop and take off. This is a safe way for the athlete to know exactly where they should be before they go to the actual pole vault runway.
