@vaultermagazine @pvcoachk #Team-Kendricks training tip of the day? @samkendricks training into a headwind. We have a training set-up now at #rancho_olympia that is perfect and we had perfect conditions there today, but competitions are rarely on perfect days. So we decided to work into the wind at #olemisstrack . Over the years, we’ve seen so many young vaulters that cannot mentally face a headwind? That’s because in training, they want “perfect” tailwind conditions. “Can’t train today!” “Headwind” or “crosswind.” Not true! It’s a mental challenge, that’s all. Get on a favorite training pole and take a few into that wind. You’ll gain confidence and place in a meet where most are defeated in the warm-up by the winds. #polevault #vaultermagazine #teamessx #stabhochsprung #sautalaperche #saltoconlasta

@pvcoachk Never, never, ever dreamed such objects would sit on our dining table in Oxford? Thankful to be home. Sam had me hand-carry the big Diamond back home on the plane from Zurich with me. Thank you to all who cared and supported our struggle to become competitive at this level 🙏. @samkendricks competed in Berlin today and Zagreb on Tuesday. 4 more meets to finish out 2017! #oxfordms #olemisstrack #armyreserve #nike #vaultermagazine #polevault (at Murrieta, California)

@pvcoachk Yep, I was there coaching very little (because we only used one pole again). Small-town guy from Oxford, MS goes to Zurich and wins Global #diamondleague Championship. Sold-out stadium, good beer, great bratwurst! @samkendricks #oxfordms #olemisstrack is very proud today. #polevault #armyreserve #nike #vaultermagazine #stabhochsprung #saltoconlasta #sautalaperche (at Murrieta, California)
