with Rick Suhr, Suhr Sports; coached the 2004 (boys) and 2005 (girls) Indoor National HS pole vault champions; coach of 2008 Olympic Silver Medalist Jennifer Stuczynski
Coach Suhr has developed a unique and successful style of vaulting demands that his vaulters jump a very disciplined and regimented style (he credits the adverse weather conditions in upstate NY and poor runways). He begins with five fundamental take-off drills. These drills are the foundation of Suhr's vaulters - regardless of ability. These drills start close to the mat and slowly work back along the runway. These drills help with grip, staying upright when approaching the bar and planting the pole. The next phase is a group of up-top drills. Short stick drills are used prior to a meet to develop good hand positioning and the 180¿ turn. Backward roll-extension develops upper body strength and allows the athlete to clear the head and chest. The pole, run, and carry drill teaches vaulters to run tall and plant the pole properly. Suhr highlights three phases of short run vaulting and illustrates each. Four National Champions, including 3x National Champion Jenn Stuczynski, provide the demonstrations for this incredible presentation.
