1. A training device to provide an alert regarding head and neck positioning during a trainee'"'"'s swing comprising:
- a positioning component comprising a substantially U-shaped length;
a sensory component which makes contact with the trainee'"'"'s chin when proper head and neck positioning is achieved while swinging, and which sends a signal when said contact is made; and
an alert component which receives the signal from the sensory component and emits an alert.

6. A training device to provide an alert regarding a trainee'"'"'s head and neck positioning during a swing comprising:
-
a positioning component comprising a substantially U-shaped length; a sensory component which (i) makes contact with the trainee'"'"'s chin when proper head position is achieved while swinging, and which sends a signal when said contact is made, or (ii) makes contact with the trainee'"'"'s chin when proper head position is maintained while swinging, and which sends a signal when the trainee'"'"'s chin ceases to make contact with the sensory component; and an alert component which receives the signal from the sensory component and emits an alert to notify a user. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method of using a device configured to emit an alert regarding a trainee'"'"'s head and neck positioning during a swing comprising:
-
coupling to the trainee a device comprising; a positioning component having a substantially U-shaped length; a sensory component, which (i) makes contact with the trainee'"'"'s chin when proper head position is achieved while swinging, and which sends a signal when said contact is made, or (ii) makes contact with the trainee'"'"'s chin when proper head position is maintained while swinging, and which sends a signal when the trainee'"'"'s chin ceases to make contact with the sensory component; and an alert component which receives the signal from the sensory component and emits an alert; positioning the device such that an approximate vertex of the positioning component rests on a dorsal surface of the trainee'"'"'s neck; and receiving an alert when a proper body position is utilized during a swing. - View Dependent Claims (12)
