Looking up

Self doubt can be a vaulters biggest enemy. It creates a dark shroud that blinds a vaulters ability of knowing what he or she is good at.  I have been second guessing everything I have been doing on the runway. But finally I had a break threw yesterday during practice. I have worked on my biggest problem which is head position. I have been having a very low take off. But yesterday was the first time I got a high plant with a good head position. The take off felt like I was cutting threw butter. It is crazy how just changing one thing can change your entire vault. Along with that I have been improving on all my running my times for some of our intervals has dropped by a second or so at a time. So it is exciting to see things are finally starting to come together a little bit. I am excited for season to finally begin and hopefully I will be moving my step back to a full approach and I finally can get onto a bigger pole. Just taking one step at a time and trying to stay patient.
