A training device comprising:
- a controller;
- at least one sensor in communication with the controller configured to measure a force applied to the training device, the controller configured to determine when the force applied to the training device decreases below a predetermined elevated level, wherein the training device is a ball having an outer skin surrounding an inner bladder and a first side of the at least one sensor contacts the inner bladder and a second opposite side of the at least one sensor contacts the outer skin;
- and
- at least one indicator in communication with the controller configured to indicate when the force decreases below the predetermined elevated level.

A training device comprising:
- a body portion wherein the training device is a ball having an outer skin surrounding an inner bladder;
- a plurality of sensors configured to measure a generally consistent elevated force applied to the body portion and the plurality of sensors contact the inner bladder on a first side and the outer skin on a second side opposite the first side, wherein the training device is a ball;
- a controller configured to determine when the generally consistent elevated force decreases below a predetermined threshold;
