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.

Lateral hops

The last thing an ankle has to prove before cutting: that it can take sideways load at speed.

Calves, Ankle stabilisers, Glute med

How to do it

1Stand on one leg beside a line or low hurdle and hop sideways over it and back, landing on the ball of the foot with a soft knee.
2Twenty seconds, three rounds.
3Listen for the landings — noise means force you are not absorbing.
4Keep your weight over the middle of the foot rather than rolling to the outside.
5This is the last thing an ankle has to prove before you cut on it.

Cues that matter

›Land on the ball of the foot, knee soft
›Quiet landings — noise is uncontrolled force
›Stay over the middle of the foot, do not roll out
