AI Technical Summary
⚠Technical Problem
Learning advanced dribbling skills in hockey requires extensive practice and supervision, as players often develop incorrect techniques due to lack of feedback on stick motion and friction, making it difficult to master without constant coaching.
⚗Method used
A training device with a disc and tower mounted to a hockey stick, incorporating sensors and low-friction surfaces, guides the stick's motion to replicate real-game scenarios, providing feedback on stick rotation and position through sensors connected to electronic devices for analysis.
🎯Benefits of technology
Enhances dribbling skills by minimizing friction, offering real-time feedback, and allowing players to practice correct techniques independently, reducing the time needed to master complex stick movements.

Abstract
A training device for a game of field hockey. The training device can mount to a standard hockey stick to guide the movements, limit certain movements and guide spatial positions of the hockey stick while practicing. The training device further includes control and monitoring methods to help a user maintain the correct path of a hockey stick in the X, Y and / or Z axis of travel. The training device facilitates the user maintaining the stick face and toe on the ground and on the ball during the left to right and right to left motion, likewise with forward or reverse motions. It also keeps the stick on the ball during the rotation over the ball.
