New!

This book was written for three people who often stand in the same struggle from different places: the athlete, the parent, and the coach. A mental block in pole vault is rarely just technical. It can affect confidence, trust, relationships, and the way the event feels in the body. Because of that, this book was written to help each reader understand the problem more clearly and respond with greater patience, wisdom, and care.

From your first vault to your highest PR, I Love Pole Vaulting and You Can Too! is your go-to guide for mastering the world’s most technical, beautiful, and humbling sport.

Written by coach and lifelong vaulter David Brannan, this book blends decades of experience, practical drills, confidence-building tools, and real-life stories—all designed to help you jump higher, compete smarter, and fall in love with the vaulting journey. 

Inside you’ll find:

• Training strategies for all skill levels

• Mental tools to handle pressure, plateaus, and fear

• Visual checklists and easy-to-follow diagrams

• Meet-day tactics and long-term development advice

• A full-season training companion (available separately or as a download)

Whether you’re an athlete or a coach, this book will meet you where you are—and help you soar higher than you thought possible. 

A full-year training framework split into four logical phases:

• Pre-Season (8 Weeks): General fitness, bodyweight strength, mobility, and mental grit. This is where we build the foundation.

• Strength Phase (12 Weeks): Olympic lifts, big compound movements, and explosive power. This is how you add several centimeters to your grip and confidence to your run.

• Speed Phase (12 Weeks): Sprint mechanics, plyometrics, and runway velocity.

• In-Season (12 Weeks): Maintenance, recovery, competition readiness. The goal is to stay strong and fresh while competing.
