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.

Delivery quality from wide areas — the difference between a chance and a goal kick.

What it works

Hip flexors, Quads

How to do it

1From a wide position, open your hips, plant your standing foot slightly behind and beside the ball, and whip across the outside of the ball with your instep to generate curl away from the keeper.
2Aim for a zone — the penalty spot, the back post — rather than a specific player.
3Work both sides.
4Delivery quality is what separates a dangerous winger from a busy one.

Cues that matter

›Open the hips, plant foot behind the ball
›Whip across the ball with the instep
›Aim for a zone, not a person
