Alan Launder, the author of Beginner to Bubka, recently discussed the swing at a camp at Willamette Striders Track Club in Oregon City, Oregon. Buy his book at neovault.com. Filmed by PoleVaultPower.com
@go250k You might like to ask some of his former pupils from the 60s about his physical methods of enforcing discipline. We don't quite share your enthusiasm.
mr launder came to my camp two years ago and called me a dumb bunny. something about having a coach with so much experience and enthusiasm gets everyone jumping higher. on the days he was at our camp i got on bigger poles and jumped successfully with a full apprach about 3 times more than i had used to.
