Benefits of technology

The patent describes a training device for improving football passing technique. The device includes a belt for attachment to the user's waist and a guide post attached to the belt. The guide post has a base, a horizontal member, a vertical member, and a cross member. The horizontal and vertical members are adjustable in length. The cross member is also adjustable in length and projects forward and backward from the vertical member. The device is positioned around the user's waist, with the horizontal member positioned below the user's passing-arm side axilla. The technical effect of the device is to provide a convenient and adjustable training tool for improving football passing technique.

Problems solved by technology

Improper passing mechanics can be detrimental to the performance of a football quarterback or other athlete who passes a football.
For example, improper mechanics may decrease the velocity of the ball and decrease the passer's accuracy.
Sometimes, improper passing mechanics may place excessive stress on a passer's elbow or other body parts, potentially leading to injury.

Abstract

A training device for improving football passing technique may include a belt member for attachment to the waist of a user and a guide post attached to the belt member. The guide post may include a base member coupled to the belt member, a substantially horizontal member coupled to the base member and projecting outward from the belt member, a substantially vertical member coupled to the substantially horizontal member, the substantially vertical member projecting upward from the substantially horizontal member, and a cross member coupled to the substantially vertical member and projecting forward and backward from an attachment point of the cross member with the substantially vertical member. When the training device is positioned around the waist of the user, the substantially horizontal member may be positioned below the passing-arm side axilla of the user.
