High School coaches have the opportunity to attend LeBrun's pole vault camp and learn his methods of coaching. Learn many drills that you can incorporate into into your program. Some coaches that end up coaching the vault have very little experience and would really benefit from LeBrun's vast experience. LeBrun also has a video of drills he uses that he could make available for interested coaches.
