A method for training an athlete to adopt a vertical head-up position includes: placing a visor comprising an opaque region over the face of the athlete such that the opaque region of the visor blocks the upper peripheral vision of the athlete if the athlete lowers his/her head below the vertical head-up position; and having the athlete train with the visor over his/her face to teach the athlete to keep the head in the vertical head-up position, thereby minimizing a risk of head-to-head contact with another athlete during a game. An apparatus for training an athlete to adopt a vertical head-up position is also described. Head and neck injuries due to head-down contact in sports in which such contact may occur (such as football, lacrosse, hockey and baseball) are an increasing concern. Of particular concern is the health risk to an athlete that suffers a concussion. Health risks are accelerated when an athlete suffers multiple concussions.
