When I was in high school and college I spent the off-season working and working out, but I was constantly trying to learn and grow in the pole vault. I’d say the amount of time I committed to watching video and training drastically increased throughout the Fall and Winter. This image shows the views on my YouTube channel for the last year. The majority of the views are during the track season. The season is a time to execute, not necessarily intake loads of information. Of course there are exceptions and several athletes out there don’t have coaches. Picture this though...You are climbing Everest and you are halfway through your journey and you pull out your cellphone to learn how to climb and navigate because you did little to no preparation. You are in the middle of this journey, snow and wind blowing, storm rolling in, pretty much hoping some quick YouTube videos find the answers real quick. What if you would have done the proper training months prior, what if you already knew how to navigate, read maps, track weather patterns, understand what to do when the storm hits. What if all you had to do was execute. It’s the same in polevaulting. The next time you are around a high-level athlete, ask them what they do during the off-season, if they even have one. Physically training is not the only thing that equates to success.

CW ran his first marathon this weekend. I ran my first last weekend. Distance running for us is simply a way to embrace the hurt and keep pushing forward. #presson
