Pole Vault - A Culture of It's Own

I've always really enjoyed blogging and found it incredibly therapeutic while I was in DC and especially in my last semester at Butler. Now, as I've finally settled into life as a girlfriend and financial aid communications specialist, I am beginning a new adventure. This adventure is one of being a coach's girlfriend. But not just ANY coach, no, I am the girlfriend of a pole vault coach.

Until I met my boyfriend, I was oblivious to the sport. Seven months into our relationship, I realize that I am still learning about of the most technical, yet beautiful, sports known to man. In spite of a constant learning curve, I have quickly come to one vital conclusion. Pole vaulting is not just a sport. It is not just an event. It is a culture and a way of life.

My hope is that through this blog, not only will I have a place to rave (and rant) about pole vault and my adventures in being the significant other to one of the most dedicated coaches I have ever seen in my life, but also that I will have a means of sharing what I know - and what I learn - about this awesome culture and lifestyle.
