Fellow vaulters. Chill. She has had 20 minutes of vault training. Not much is going to get done on your first day vaulting. She did pretty well for her first practice.

This is great, I like the way Lauren is confident in the way she attempts and complete the tasks given. Well done hope to see more!

I jumped 9' my time, I was 14 yrs old. finished the season with 13'6. Finished my career with 17'6". With time, she coulda rockin it.

Pole vaulted for the first time yesterday, cleared 8ft. Gotta keep working on form to improve. Can't wait to start vaulting higher!

"once a year someone dies at this"... damn.

I am very grateful for this video. After looking for days and days on “How to Pole Vault" this video has given me great tips on how to do it. This video has helped me a lot. I will put this into full affect starting tomorrow. Great video for starters. Thank you. ☺🏃

theres a big difference between getting over a bungee and clearing one...

"Put the pole in the box" yes pls

This coach really loves his job. bless his heart

I love her motivation and enthusiasm

I LOVE the can-do, positive attitude in these videos!!

these videos should be longer, i really like this serie.

As a pole vaulter that was hard to watch... wow you cleared a whole 3ft?? impressive.

amazing! love lauren in this, she seems to be able to do anything that comes her way!

"At this point you don't have to think. At this point you're starting to get it, so just think driiiiive swing"

I'm 13 years old at 5'3" and I've been doing pole vaulting and I love it. My first day I cleared 6'6"

Well done, even attempting pole vaulting is a challenge! I was a gymnast in high school 50 years ago, still rings and parallel bars. Even with the daily emphasis on my arms, shoulders and abdomen when I tried pole vaulting for the track team it was a major challenge. The shock to your upper torso from putting all of your momentum against the pole can really be felt. Of course this was many years ago and the poles were fiberglass back then and not the exotic carbon-fiber composites they are today-which tend to reduce the shock to your muscles. I eventually became a fair pole vaulter (for the times and the level) but I can appreciate that it's a sport you can't do very long, the strain on your joints and muscles has a cumulative effect. Anyway, you have my KUDOS for even attempting this!

Gee, this lady seems to do everything right no matter how difficult the task is!

I'm a pole vaulter & it's really fun.

What about pushing the pole away....

We've all heard of the Fosbury Flop but this looks like the Lauren Vault - pretty amazing...

Just pole dance already lol

It takes a wile to learn and as well get over and clear.

Me before watching the video: "no" Me after watching the video: "yep, that's what I thought."

watching this to learn how to vault for a competition. I've never done this before and its 2moro...

Jumped years and never got 7ft? Really?

So umm I vault like everyday and didn’t know someone dies at least once a year. Thanks for that 😂

Not trying to put her down or anything I'm just saying she would not have cleared any of those jumps because she didn't let go of the pole and the pole would have knocked the bar down

Put a bar up and see if the experience is just as positive.

I was looking forward to this all week.

Awsome achievements

I pole vault for OU and thats actually pretty impressive for a beginner.

This makes an absolute MOCKERY of pole vaulting. I understand she's never done it before but what she accomplished in the video is not even scratching the surface of what pole vaulting really is. She definitely cannot say she has "mastered" this sport. Good try but A LOT of things should've been done differently.

There's no way thats her first time pole vaulting bc I've been doing it for months and just now made it over a 7ft bungee and only a 6.6ft bar.

this was really cool to watch

i did 7 ft the other day thank you for the vid

His head shiny

I just started jumping a few days ago this really helped got almost ten feet today thanks for the video

"We're gonna see how high we can get you." Oh my lord

I use that pinkish yellow pole that the girl in the pink shirt was holding for high school pole vault. I just started and I need to learn to get over the actual vault

She was better than me when i first started

The legend Russ

How much upper body strength do you need?

the good ol days... i used to vault in my high school days. won a few metals and awards while at it. most hardcore event in T&F

my name is Lauren and I'm starting pole vaulting today 😂😂

Nice. Very impressive for her first time.

she's a beast! what can she not do lol

really guys that's good for her first time

She is a good student. Coachable. I would be like "This sucks...iam smokin' a blunt..."

Lauren is so pretty

* when you have to do pole vault tomorrow for the first time * 0-0; I’m scared now

Her....Sticks chest out... Him......"Really good job!"

haha yes, that was my biggest problem when I started; pulling!!

Wonder how many pole jokes there will be in the comments?

Super sir

Damn this makes me want to try!

We get it guys. She's hot, we know she's hot, she knows she's hot. Your pole vaulting puns suck. Let's have some constructive conversation

She is very smart lady

how we do perfectly first timme of polevault

She never threw the bar back😬😂

Can Lauren pick up pole vaulting? No

how do you find a strong women like her. very confident and great mind

She would be tearing up JV and 7th grade middle school meets...haha

nice

While, I can't say I've ever heard that expression, I suspect it's something a fitness fanatic might say since having a strong, solid core is beneficial in almost all physical activity, incl. yoga. Of course, that's just my two cents, anyway.

She didnt even throw the pole back she did not vault 7

Sad thing is that 30, 185 lbs and 6'1 Never done yoga in my life, and I can out work, out hike, out run many people who live and die by yoga. So busy practicing to practice that they never learn how to actually "use" their core. And not just women, but men, firefighters, soldiers, policeman... I have no doubt that yoga is great for you, but so is just getting out and doing stuff, I laugh when some one say "i do yoga" and then can't make a hike or finish run.... Enjoy your "solid core" haha

she's a gamer!

Need to teach to tuen as you go up the pole, that will allow you to jump higher

The problem with the coach is that you have to make them know to turn right off the bat, that high jump teqnique will have a very low peak and THROW the dang pole

I don’t understand her running technique - it looks like she has an unusual gait, can anyone explain it to me?

Need to get that plant out :) ha

If she needs a pole to train further, she can use mine all day

Should have been 3. 2. 1. Lift. Plant.

MEESH LIVES IN DALLAS TX.

You still have to throw the pole back lol

i cleared 7 ft my first day, then 8 ft my third

Wow! 7ft on the first day! I do high school pole vaulting and I can safely say that a 7"0' for girls would easily get you in the top 3 for a local meet!

Plant lift jump

Put the pole in the box

If Lauren needs help on the other side, I will be always there to catch her :)

Why didn't you do the turn and throw back???

Ha I start this Tuesday and then said something about dieing..

Shes a very fast learner

Hi

I'm 12 and I clear 2.40m is that good

she is actually a very athletic girl

Good coach though, my coach is Joe Dial at ORU.

"put the pole in the box"

Im starting to hate it when women say that. I also love how when they can't do anything they blame it on not going to yoga... like yoga is the end all of everything

3:54 Sweetheart, don't know if you know this but you ARE perfect

Yes, considering it was all one day. A great effort. Forget the closet critics, the coach did a fabulous job. I'd love to know if she could even move the next day. lots of jumps in there.

Can Lauren Pick Up Finding a Moral Husband and Raising a Family?

YYYAAAYYY MASSACHUSETTS IS WHERE ITS AT

This... This is not pole vaulting. I am a high school vaulter and I can say from experience what she has done in this video is nothing more than jumping while holding a pole. That takes no skill nor athleticism, which is not to say she is in any way not an athlete. But to say that she has done well in this sport. No, she has learned nothing about the sport of pole vaulting.

I'll put my pole in the box alright.

I could high jump over that bungee

Those pits suck!

he didn't teach her that she needed to push the pole back

they need to repair or replace the front pads around the box . Looks very tacky
