Coach Timer
The COACH Segment Timer
The function of a Segment Timer in a athletics training program can be a range of posible things. The goal of the DRILLClock design team was to create a Segment Timer with functions that address each facet of what a Segment Timer is to a coaching staff and to their training program. Creating a visual user control interface, where direct interaction by coaches could be made with minimul selection through menus. The COACH Segment Timer is designed to remove the frustration from setting up your practice time schedule. All operations are remote controlled with the control range of 100 yards, letting you edit your schedule on the fly during a practice, without the fear of breaking your schedule! A completely new operation system offers the coaching staff a tool that is easy to operate.
The COACH Segment Timer operating system is made up with 40 PERIODS. Each PERIOD is numbered from 0 to 39, with each PERIOD containing a unique set of attributes. The operator controls the system where he has button pairs for directly affecting the PERIOD functions. Button pairs that are color coded, grey for PERIOD Up and Down, Yellow for TIME plus and minus, green for the number of time SEGMENTs plus and minus. To directly set and edit the attributes for a PERIOD, it is a simple matter of using the grey buttons to locate the desired PERIOD and then set the Time for the segments using the yellow buttons, and then how many of these timed segments you want to run using the green Segment buttons. What makes this system unique is that you can go to any of the forty PERIODs, and change any of these settings or all, in any order without selecting a menue or navigating further. Make any change and if you decide to keep it, press SAVE. That same method includes other features found in each Period such as adding in a time delay between each of the Segments. There is a button that will make the time that you set be counted as minutes or as seconds.
