Pole Vault Band - It's You VS the Bar

This band is a reminder that In pole vault (or high jump), If you really break it down, it's only ever you vs the bar. I've even seen Mondo say the same thing in an interview when asked who his biggest competition is.

The beautiful thing about our sport is that your biggest competition is the next bar!

Story

I had a big meet at the prestigious Drake Relays. To say I was nervous was an understatement since I was competing against the German Record holder, American record holder, and French record holder who at the time was the World freaking record holder.

I felt way out of my league and it must have shown on my face because my Bahamas Buddy Trev, a world-class high jumper who was also competing at the meet came up to me and asked what was wrong.

I told him the situation and he interrupted me and said "Shawn man, It's only ever you vs the bar."

He then turned and walked away like an action star walking away from an explosion. "Man, he's cool."

I went to the meet and was surprisingly calm as I focused on competing against the bar vs these world-class guys. It helped!

When the meet was over, I found myself placed somewhere in the middle of a loaded field. I held my own with the best vaulters in the world.

Over the years, I've heard some amazing coaches and athletes use the same phrase. It's something I preach at my camps, and I hope it helps you and your athletes, too. 

- Use the band as a reminder that it's only ever you vs the bar.
