Agreed. Interesting point. I have never coached track, and hopefully never will have to, but coaching is done at practice. During competition is too late.....at least in every other sport I've coached, that's been the case. Good point, but you can help a vaulter tremendously during competition. Throwers and jumpers too. The use of the Ipad mini is very helpful. Show them what they are doing wrong.

Oh yes. Muscle memory was a good point. But these are kids, and little things throw them off. Had a kid that won the long jump 2 years in a row for us. Jumped around 23'. But couldn't get over 18' if the board was too different or the run up too short. Had to give that kid reassurance and just get him to trust his steps was not enough.

I have watched throwing coaches screw their kids up over coaching them during an event also... So I think it has to be happy medium.

every week course you may have only 1 or 2 good throw coaches at a meet jumpers too move up 2 inches change feet ect coach em during the week turn em loose at the meet if coached properly during week you let em go and dont try to put more crap in their head on game day i see it all the time over coaching when they did nothing during the week I see it a lot even at state course most people dont coach or like track stand around is easier

If the vaulter is doing things properly, yes, you can leave him/her be.
Agree to have the coaching done prior to competition.
Throws and jumps you can actually help more, day of, than running events.
Agree on don't over coach.

I have been known to have that "special whistle" while my kids are running, but I try not to yell at them too much (when I yell, it's because I'm the kids' fan, not because I'm "coaching them"). Heck, I remember when I ran track, I couldn't hear anybody yelling for me anyway, so why do it now? lol. I coach the kids up during field events, though. I don't make them do drills or anything, but I have plenty of coaching points between trials. And now that you can film them and have them watch, it's great, and should be used by everyone. Just my $.02 GREAT POST

So does the weight room and it's the same battle. Some don't want to be helped. Basically if it's hard and difficult it will help you. Amen!

It has been recently implemented in Texas. I can't remember the exact year.

Tweaking something is one thing but over coaching on meet day just so the other coaches, parents, and competitors know you know what your talking about is stupid. I coach throwers and it kills me watching coaches and parents...you change too much on the day of the meet your rhythm will be off and you wont be comfortable which will slow the shot or disc down...like I said small tweaks but that is it...Im sure it is the same with all the other events...
