The great Greg Duplantis joined the podcast today and added to the crazy European traveling stories of Pat Manson last week. I was really taken back by so many parts of this podcast, but I think the one that has really been sticking with me is the grassroots story of him vaulting in high school with limited equipment and coaching but still becoming an 18 footer in high school. That is insane!!! We talked about the differences in today's vaulters compared to the vaulters of his era, why he thinks Mondo is able to do what he does, and so many different things in between. There are some podcasts that could literally go for 5 hours or more, and this was one of them. The amount of experience that Greg brings to the table on both the athlete side and the coaching side of the pole vault is very unique and I was honored to be able to tap into a little of that in this episode.
