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.

Kettlebell clean

A hinge that finishes in the rack position, and the movement everything else with a kettlebell starts from.

What it works

Glutes, Shoulders, Grip

How to do it

1From a hinge, pull the bell up and back close to the body, then punch the hand around it and catch it in the rack position on the forearm with the elbow tucked into the ribs.
2It should land quietly.
3If it bangs down onto the wrist, the hand went around it too late — the fix is to keep it closer and punch earlier, not to grip harder.
4Lower it by guiding it back down between the legs into the next rep.

Cues that matter

›Keep it close, do not swing it out
›Punch the hand through as it rises
›Catch it on the forearm, not the wrist
