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

How to do it

1Stand on one leg, other leg held straight out in front.
2Lower all the way to the bottom under control, then stand back up without touching down.
3It needs ankle mobility, single-leg strength and balance together — build it with box pistols first.
