In the video above, Alysha Newman performs feats that even the greatest athletes in the NFL, NBA and MLB cannot. In fact, 99+% of ALL the top male athletes on the planet cannot match this young woman's scope of physical endeavors. I offer this phenomenal female athlete as a prime example because, although she possesses extraordinary gymnastics abilities, her pole vault potential is strictly limited by her continued naive application of lethal “traditional” pole vault methods that defy rationality.
Alysha Newman is capable of EASILY exceeding 5.5 meters (18 feet) if she changes to proper technique and sheds "traditional" pole vault "wrong-way" inefficiency. ALYSHA'S SIMPLE REMEDY TO REACH HER POTENTIAL HEIGHTS IS AIR STRIKE'S HORIZONTAL FLEXED POLE ROTATION!
These are my WARNINGS to Alysha Newman and ALL vaulters attempting inept "traditional" methods:
NEVER USE A FULL-SPEED-RUN APPROACH!
NEVER "PUSH" A FLEXING POLE FORWARD!
NEVER USE LETHAL "TRADITIONAL" TEACHINGS!
The vulnerability of non-gymnastically trained athletes to the high risk of pole vault catastrophes is exponential. This has been repeatedly verified throughout the decades. Simultaneously, harmful “traditional” pole vault misinformation continues to thrive, further endangering anyone attempting this misconceived event.
THE ABOVE WARNINGS CANNOT BE OVERSTATED AS NEITHER CAN THE FOLLOWING:
AIR STRIKE HORIZONTAL FLEXED POLE ROTATION and LEVERAGE principles produce innovative methods that can be utilized with consistent near-perfect VERTICAL TRAJECTORY time after time, which is contrary to predictably inconsistent and inept "traditional" high-risk pole vault methods.
