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 halo

Warms the shoulders through a full circle under a little load, which is more useful than swinging the arms about.

Rotator cuff, T-spine, Shoulders

How to do it

1Hold the bell upside-down by the horns at chest height.
2Circle it around the head, keeping it close, and return to the start, then repeat in the opposite direction.
3Keep the ribs pulled down so the movement happens at the shoulders rather than by leaning away from the weight.
4Do the same number of circles each way — going one direction more than the other is how a warm-up creates the asymmetry it was meant to fix.

Cues that matter

›Circle it close around the head
›Ribs down, do not lean away from it
›Equal circles in both directions
