Abstract
A timing device for training an athlete to perform an athletic endeavor in a repeatable, rhythmic manner to thereby improve his or her performance. A controller is programmed to output audible timing pattern signals in response to a set of timing data input into the controller. A transmitter is operatively connected to the controller for transmitting these signals to the athlete. The pattern preferably includes a first plurality of signals forming a preliminary time interval that permits the athlete to become set in his or her stance. The timing pattern also includes an initialization signal that prepares the athlete to begin his or her performance. The timing pattern also includes a second plurality of signals having a preset tempo that indicates to the individual sequential points in the athletic endeavor. By performing the task at a tempo synchronous with the tempo set by the second plurality of signals, an athlete can develop a rhythmic, repeatable approach and thereby improve his or her athletic performance. The present invention is particularly useful in training a golfer to improve his/her golf swing mechanics.
