Electronic athlete trainer for improving skills in reflex, speed and accuracy

A training apparatus comprising in combination multiple targets which are to be placed around the player;

• an electronic device having electronic components for controlling the operation of said training apparatus;
• means for randomly selecting said targets;
• sound generator means responsive to said target selection means to automatically create a sound as said targets are selected by said target selection means;
• indicating means responsive to said target selection means for indicating when said targets are selected by said target selections;
• means for resetting said target selections;
• means for measuring elapsed time between said target selections and said target resettings;
• indicating means for indicating elapsed time measured by said measuring means;
• selection means for designating selection speeds of said target selections;
• means for selecting fake mode of said target selections in which true target selection is preceded by fake target selections;
• means for communication between said electronic device and said targets;
• an oscillator;
• a binary counter which generates multiple clocks with different frequencies by counting down the clock generated by said oscillator;
• logic gates responsive to said selection means for designating selection speeds of said target selections to select one clock with desired frequency from said binary counter;
• a pseudo random number generator;
• a state decoder which converts the signals generated from said pseudo random number generator into multiple pseudo random states in which only one state is true at one clock period and each state represents one said target;
• a state register which stores the multiple pseudo random states from said state decoder and randomly selects one of said targets with one of the true state at each clock period, the true state in said state register being cleared by reset signal generated by said means for generating reset signal in said selected target;
• a display which displays the elapsed time measured in said decade counter;
• a sound generator responsive to said target selection means to automatically create a sound as said targets are selected by said target selection means and to stop the sound as said targets are reset by said means for generating reset signal in said selected targets;
• and a transmitter/receiver to communicate between said electronic device and said targets.
