Snakedoc-- I n researching Mindy Blake i

find his life story as interesting as his golf swing.
In 1939 Mindy met the Harvard track coach who told him
he didn't understand about how to use his muscles for
stretching power and the coach proceeded to show him
and Mindy gained about a foot in height in pole vaulting.

This coaches name was Jaakko Mikkola , who coached the Norwegian
track and field at the Olympics during the 1920's
I wonder what Jaakko showed Mindy almost 70 years ago.?

ALSO i know that Mindy's sport was pole vaulting yet he uses
the example of a javelin thrower to compare his swing too.

Snakedoc are there similarity's between the two sports or
could pole vaulting better explain his swing?
