New Helmet Launched That Allows Water-Skiers Instant Instruction From Coach To Athlete

Tuncurry, Australia, September 2005 . A new coaching system ‘HEADZONE’ enables water-skiers to hear their coach at the precise moment they need instruction. This unique helmet helps accelerate the learning process by enabling instant communication from coach to athlete. The Coaching System, designed by Mark Ellis a Professional Water-ski Coach and inventor, and produced by HEADZONE, is specifically designed for water sports, and is 100% waterproof.

Communication is the key to learning quickly and correctly, especially when it comes to action sports where good timing and technique is essential. The fully waterproof range of HEADZONE helmets can help achieve better results faster by offering instant communication from the coach to athlete.

The HEADZONE Helmet eliminates stop and start coaching allowing efficient use of time, and thus more students can be coached per hour. In addition to being waterproof the helmets other key features are built-in speakers, basic unit has 16 channels, custom channel selections available upon request, and a range of up to 3km.

Mark Ellis, Professional Water-ski Coach and designer of HEADZONE comments: ‘As a coach it is important to be able to relay knowledge clearly without any misunderstanding to the student or athlete to achieve the highest results while increasing their ability. My goal has been to do this and at the same time protect my student’s safety.

To coach people on when to ‘think tough’, when to change their body position, how to react, and ‘feel the rhythm’. If I could guide them and instruct them instantly they would change and experience improvement like never before. I wanted to give instruction and have it turn to action, without confusion or thinking. The coaching then becomes their own thoughts on how, when, and where to be strong or smooth. I would be able to coach every step of the way. When you're in the zone, you're at your best. ’
