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

Calves, Quads, Glutes

How to do it

1Set a line of low hurdles — height is not the point and a hurdle you have to tuck for ruins the rhythm.
2Hop over them continuously, landing on the balls of the feet with soft knees and leaving the floor again as quickly as you land.
3Listen: loud landings mean force you are not absorbing.
4Stop the set when the contacts get slow, because after that you are training endurance rather than power.
