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

Glutes, Shoulders, Grip

How to do it

1From a hinge, drive the hips and pull the bell up close to the body, then punch the hand through and around it so it settles overhead with the arm locked out — one motion, no pause at the shoulder.
2Lower it by letting it fall in front and guiding it back between the legs.
3Learn the clean and the swing first; this is those two movements at speed and it is unforgiving of a late hand.

Cues that matter

›One motion from the hips to overhead
›Punch the hand through at the top
›Learn the clean before you try this
