The seemingly insurmountable obstacles and unanticipated challenges we encounter & conquer, as devastating and untimely as they feel, are exactly what makes us better when the opportunity to strive for greatness presents itself! The next one awaits! Onward and upward, Sean!
Woohoo! I love having a son who does “gymnastics-on-a-stick”, as I affectionately nicknamed pole vault! Here’s to 18’3” and beyond! Working hard, flying high and having fun!

At some point, you should revise the rules and excrssive deduction for a coach standing by for safety when a gymnast performs this level of difficulty on vault, just as we evolved to allow a spotter for releases and dismounts on bars for safety.
