Abstract
This specific coaching manual has been designed using the Personalized System of Instruction intended for aspiring high school pole vault coaches. This manual will touch on regulations and equipment that can make the pole vault safer and emphasize the technical components of the run and take-off that a coach must emphasize to ensure that the pole vaulter safely penetrates and lands into the pit. This manual will use the Personalized System of Instruction or PSI to ensure every athlete is working at their own pace and will include multiple drills and coaching points/progressions to help a pole vaulter effectively takeoff consistently in order to minimize the possibility of any dangers arising.
