Title: Mechanics of the Pole Vault is for Winners!
Product review: Though it is more than 20 years old, I can't conceive of a better guide for the young pole-vaulter than "Mechanics of the Pole Vault". From the era when Bob Seagren and Steve Smith held sway atop the sport, Ganslen describes in intimate, if prosaic, detail the mental and physical minutae of the most elegant and difficult endeavor in sport.In some ways pole technology and sports science may have surpassed the content of Ganslen's book. His exquisite grasp of the complex activity of pole vaulting, however, is surely unsurpassed and could be a boon to a new generation of vaulters.It is truly a shame that this valuable text is not currently in the canon of modern track and field.
