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

Legs

How to do it

1Shoulders or feet in position with the balls of the feet on the platform and heels free.
2Rise as high as you can onto the toes, pause, then lower until you feel a full stretch in the calf.
3Bouncing through a tiny range is what makes calf work useless — pause at both ends.
