Jerry Cousins Coaching Tips

Name:

Are you an Athlete(Avid Pole Vaulter), Coach, or Both?

What is your Personal Best or Your Athletes Best (Basic Background)

Over the years several athletes over 13' and three over 14'. I have had a plan over the years to (if circumstances permitted) set up a vaulting school at my home in Henderson, N.C. Well it seems that starting next summer, that will be a reality. I will have room for 8 vaulters at a time. The objective will be to provide great coaching over a four or five day span. I am looking for vault coaches, and vaulters who are interested in learning to do it right (safe). There will be no charge to come to Henderson and participate. Just pay for your food and be serious about vaulting. As plans materialize I will post more information here. Parents would also be welcome. We have plenty of accomadations in the area. Please contact me if you have any interest in coming to vaulthouse.
