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.

Horizontal Leg Press

Loads the legs with the back supported, which is useful when the trunk is already tired from squatting.

What it works

Legs

How to do it

1Back flat against the seat, feet on the platform shoulder width.
2Press out to near-extension, then return under control until the knees are around 90°.
3Adjust the seat so you get range without the hips tucking under at the bottom.

Cues that matter

›Feet mid-platform, shoulder width
›Lower until the hips start to tuck
›Do not lock the knees hard at the top
