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

Glutes, Quads, Calves

How to do it

1Face a partner a couple of metres away; one leads with short lateral and forward-back movements, the other mirrors as fast as possible.
2Stay in a low athletic stance and react — never pre-plan.
3This trains the unscripted change-of-direction you actually use in a game, where you respond to an opponent rather than a cone.

Cues that matter

›React — don't pre-plan your steps
›Low athletic stance
›Push hard off the outside foot
