An interactive agility post system useful in training athletes comprising:

• a. an agility post including a stanchion supported on a stability base and having two arms extending from and rotatably affixed to the stanchion, with a top light positioned at the top of the stanchion, a second light positioned on the front of the stanchion, one or more lights positioned on or along each arm of the stanchion, and lasers positioned along the stability base, and wherein the agility post supports a plurality of sensors and cameras;
• b. a communications module secured to the agility post and configured to receive positional data from the sensors, to direct operation of the top light, the second light, the lights positioned on or along each arm, and the lasers pursuant to a light sequence, and to transmit the sensor data to a computing device;
• and
• c. wherein the computing device receives video data from the cameras and positional data from the communications module and calculates a user's travel path, body position, speed and acceleration, and displays the same on a user interface.

A method comprising:

• a. receiving from a plurality of sensors positional data of a user relative to an agility post, the agility post including a stanchion supported on a stability base and having two arms extending from and rotatably affixed to the stanchion;
• b. receiving from a plurality of cameras video data of the user relative to the agility post;
• c. creating and displaying a record associated with the user based upon the sensor positional data and the camera data;
• and
• d. outputting to a plurality of lights on the agility post light sequence data configured to activate a light sequence in the plurality of lights, wherein the plurality of lights include a top light positioned at the top of the stanchion, a second light positioned on the front of the stanchion, one or more lights positioned on or along each arm of the stanchion, and lasers positioned along the stability base.
