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 windmill

Loads rotation and side-bending at the same time, which is a demand the rest of a programme almost never makes.

How to do it

1Press one bell overhead and turn the feet out roughly forty-five degrees away from it.
2Keeping your eyes on the bell and that arm locked, push the loaded hip out to the side and hinge down, letting the free hand travel toward the floor.
3Come back up by driving the hip back under you.
4Range is limited by the overhead arm staying locked, not by how close the free hand gets to the floor.

Cues that matter

›Eyes on the bell overhead throughout
›Push the loaded hip out to the side
›Go only as far as the arm stays locked
