Abstract

American football plays a large part in the American culture. During the season, football fans bleed the colors of their favorite team and are extremely enthusiastic about every game. Kicking is a very fundamental and vital part of the game. This paper presents a training system that integrates wireless technology, computer simulation, and advanced visualization. This system is capable of providing quantitative training to kickers and allows coaches to design effective and unique training programs. Moreover, the data collected in real-time can be used to calibrate the footballs dynamic model in predicting the final position with respect to the field goal, which is then visualized using 3D stereoscopic technology.
