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

Shoulders

How to do it

1Set up as for a strict press.
2Dip a few inches by bending the knees with the torso vertical, then drive explosively through the legs and use that momentum to punch the bar overhead, locking out with the arms.
3The dip is short and sharp — dipping too deep turns it into a squat and kills the drive.

Cues that matter

›Small dip from the legs
›Explode the bar up
›Punch the head through at lockout
