Ellis Woodyard
Pole Vault Carolina has helped me develop my skills as an athlete, but much more importantly PVC has been a huge part of my development and growth off the track. Vaulting with PVC has allowed me to create lasting relationships… that I will value long after my athletic career is finished. Jose and the entire PVC Family created an environment for me to reach far beyond my goals and for that I am thankful! show more “Ellis Woodyard”
Bob Phillips
As a coach for 37 years I can really appreciate the time, effort, money, and passion that Jose and Adele have put into the club. The way Jose relates to the kids, the structure that the program provides, the support… that parents showed, and the support that the kids showed for each other is something really special. show more “Bob Phillips”
John Tillman
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the incredible training session you provided for Parkwood athletes this past Saturday. As an Olympian, I have had the pleasure of being trained by and associating with some… of the finest coaches in the U.S. However, I can say without reservation that I have never before witnessed such a dramatic transformation as I experienced at your clinic. In just a few hours, you had each athlete vaulting a full 2 feet higher than their previous best. Amazing! Your ability to connect with young athletes and infuse confidence in them where it was previously lacking coupled with a thorough knowledge and systematic approach to teaching the pole vault creates truly remarkable results. My athletes came back charged up and inspired to train harder, compete smarter, and set the bar higher for themselves. show more “John Tillman”

Harrison Booth
Mr. San Miguel gave me the strength to carry, run, plant, drive, swing and push on, in pole-vaulting and life. I am forever in debt to him and his family
Cindy Booth
We went from having no one to help Harrison, to having the best, most dedicated coach in the state! I only wish that he had been with you for longer! He grew so much and learned SO much from you.… We can never thank you enough for what you have done! I know that he has had the best coaching he can possibly have-so that’s why I worry about college! I am so thankful that he can still talk to you! … It was such a special time, and we owe it all to you!! Especially those indoor meets-where regular coaches wouldn’t have even taken the kids to!… You’re the best!! show more “Cindy Booth”
