Pole Vault Training Naples FL

 

Training for the pole vault in Naples Florida involves a combination of strength and conditioning exercises, technical drills, and mental preparation. Here are some key aspects of pole vault training and don't forget we offer training in other events like javelin training:

​

Strength and Conditioning for Pole Vault

  • Building overall strength and conditioning is important for any athlete, but it is especially crucial for pole vaulters.

  • Exercises like squats, deadlifts, lunges, and plyometrics can help develop the strength and power needed to launch off the ground.

  • Pole vaulters also need to have strong core and upper body muscles to help with the pole swing and plant.

  • Conditioning work like running, cycling, or swimming can help build endurance and cardiovascular health.
     

Technical Pole Vault Training Drills

  • Pole vaulters need to learn the proper technique for takeoff, swing, plant, and clearance over the bar.

  • Technical drills can help athletes improve specific aspects of their technique, such as their run-up, pole carry, or swing.

  • These drills can include practicing with a shorter pole, using drills to work on specific parts of the jump, and using video analysis to fine-tune technique.
     

Mental Preparation for Pole Vault

  • Pole vaulting requires a combination of physical and mental preparation.

  • Visualization techniques can help athletes prepare mentally for a jump and overcome fear or hesitation.

  • Mental toughness training can help athletes stay focused and confident during competition.
