Created as a teaching tool for coaches, the Silent Coach is a small electronic device that vibrates. It comes with a Velcro strap, which can be strapped to an individual's arm or leg, and then the remote control is used to send reminders to students by assigning certain instructions to specific vibrations. For example, coaches can assign a specific vibration to remind an individual to keep his or her chin up, look forward or keep his or her legs slightly bent without having to verbally repeat it. The Silent Coach could be a useful option for those who coach or train Deaf or hard-of hearing athletes or clients.

Additional benefits of using this device may include:

• Assist with fixing bad habits (form);
• Help reinforce muscle memory;
• Allow the coach/trainer to be heard from a distance without shouting.
