As the school's pole vault coach with the track and field team it has often been difficult to explain the fine points of this most technically difficult of field events. I am using my iPad with team daily. although the iPad has a good quality video camera and photo app, I use the the app VideoPix because it allows be to use slow motion and frame by frame viewing of boy's vaults to analyze problems and teach correct form.
A typical vault attempt. We can slow it down and view key points frame by frame using VideoPix
I am also able to use my iPad to have some video examples of strong high school and college vaulters on hand to show our vaulters for reference. I used my iPad to create a blog page for pole vault and have put reference videos there for my vaulters to study.
