The Pole Vault Toolbox - QR Code Edition | Book

I bought Shawn's original version of this book back in 2019. it has been my "holy book" when it comes to coaching and training pole vault. I finally broke down and bought the QR code version, as it was turning into a pain for me to keep track of Shawn's YouTube videos that relate to chapters in the book. Now its super easy for me to scan the QR code and go right to the video I want. I even bought a copy for my co-coach who will be coaching PV camp with me this summer! Thanks as always Shawn

I have been coaching sprinters for years and years, but when the HS was desperate to fill the role of pole vaulting coach I agreed to take on the task. I’ve always been an adrenaline junkie so I knew this would be a good fit for me. What I soon realized was how technical the sport is. I have 3 brand new pole vaulters and we are learning together. This book has nearly answered all my questions and has helped me identify why my vaulters are doing certain things and how to correct them. This book is the foundation of my whole program so far. My athletes are participating in their first meet today and we’re just there to get experience. I LOVE the pole vaulting community and all the athletes I have met from various schools all have good character and are focused and willing to learn. Can’t say enough good stuff about this book. I just wish it was a little cheaper so I could purchase one for each of my athletes.

I'm just starting to learn pole vaulting so I can support my daughter—she doesn’t have a coach at her school, so I'm doing everything I can to help her succeed. This book, along with the videos, has been an incredible resource. The information is clear, practical, and easy to apply, even for someone new to the sport. Thank you, Shawn, for putting together such a valuable guide!

I just finished the book. I have been a high school and college PV coach since 2004. I loved the book. Many of his cues brought to life things I have been trying to explain for years. I loved ‘stomping on the can’. This book will definitely make me a better coach.
