Pole Vault: Standing Drop-Knee Drive Drill

This is a standing drop and knee drive drill for the pole vault. This is a progression drill from previous drills with the left punch only and the two hand pole drop. Try to time it up as the hands extend above the top of the head, we must run into or drive the right knee, hitting our thigh into a parallel position, maintaining 90 degrees of the right leg with your foot directly under your knee is extremely important through the take-off.
