What does PocketAthlete actually do?

You log each morning: sleep, soreness and fatigue. It scores your readiness, adjusts that day's session, and builds four-week training blocks around your sport, your position and the equipment you have.

Is it only for footballers?

No. It covers football, rugby, basketball, running, weightlifting and general gym training, with position-specific work for the team sports.

No. Tell it what you have and it programs around it. Many of the technical drills need nothing but a ball and a wall.

Can it work around an injury?

It works around soreness you log and avoids body parts you tell it to leave alone. It is general training information, not medical advice — see a physiotherapist for a diagnosis.

What it works

Glute med

How to do it

1Loop a band around the legs (above the knees or at the ankles), drop into a half-squat, and take small controlled steps sideways keeping constant tension on the band and the knees tracking out over the toes.
2It wakes up the glute medius so the knee stops collapsing inward — a direct fix for valgus.

Cues that matter

›Tension on the band the whole set
›Knees tracking out over the toes
›Small, controlled steps
