Watch as Coach explains that when doing pole drop drills, emphasize to the vaulters that the tip hits AFTER you jump. If the tip hits before the vaulter jumps, then they are too close. The goal should be on every runway drill to always beat the tip. The vaulter must accelerate before they drop the tip.
