Abstract: An on-field vision training system is disclosed that provides a visual identifier near the athlete during game play and training exercises and other visual identifier positioned away from the athlete, but so as to still be seen by the athlete during game play and training exercises. The athlete uses the visual identifiers during game play and training exercises to improve vision, focus, and concentration. An American football having unique visual identifiers for use as an in-flight visual training tool is also disclosed.

Abstract: A backpack with a compression system includes a backpack body having a top side, a bottom side, two lateral sides, a body side, an outer side and a pair of shoulder straps. Each shoulder strap has a first end connected at a junction of the top side and the body side, and a second end connected to the backpack body at a junction of the bottom side and the body side. Each strap extends along a corresponding lateral side and the bottom of the backpack body, and is slidably connected to the backpack body at a junction of the body side and a corresponding lateral side, and at a junction of the corresponding lateral side and the outer side.

Abstract: A bag for carrying items includes a bag having an interior compartment and an exterior surface. An aperture is formed in the exterior surface of the bag with a closure panel releasably secured to the aperture when the bag is in a first configuration. A primary pocket is secured around a peripheral edge thereof to the aperture and to the closure panel, and extends into the interior compartment to form an interior pocket when the bag is in the first configuration. The primary pocket extends outwardly from the bag and is in communication with and expands the volume of the interior compartment when the bag is in a second configuration. The closure panel forms a portion of the primary pocket when the bag is in the second configuration.

Abstract: A backpack includes a backpack body having a body side. A pair of shoulder straps is connected at each end thereof to the backpack body. A semi-rigid support plate is positioned proximate the body side, and a strap is connected to the support plate such that a lower portion of the support plate can be curved while an upper portion of the support plate remains substantially flat.

Abstract: A device for throwing an object has a first end of the device that functions as a handle. A second end of the device has at least two flexible appendages to hold an object. A tension adjustment device is coupled to the two flexible appendages.
