Watch as Coach Jeff Martin explains, and vaulters demonstrate these pole vault approach drills. The 1st drill is the towel drill which places a towel where the box would be. This creates a better target when planting the pole. The 2nd drill is the same except replacing the towel with a sliding box, which adds more resistance for the plant and takeoff.
