Abstract
A tethered ball trainer includes a body harness having a primary belt, primary support arm, and secondary support structure. Both the primary belt and secondary support structure are attached to a user and the primary support arm. A tether is attached to the primary support arm opposite the primary belt and consists of a swivel hook, damper, cord, and ball support. The swivel hook prevents the cord from twisting, while the damper absorbs shock and reduces the impact on the user as a result of the ball being kicked. The ball is attached to the tether at a mounting point on the ball or by the ball support. An accelerometer in the ball measures the acceleration of the ball and sends electronic signals through a transmitter to a visual display having a communicably coupled receiver. A display processor unit records and displays information in regards to the ball being kicked.
