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

Whole Body

How to do it

1Start standing with the bar at your thighs.
2Push the hips back, letting the bar slide down the legs, keeping the back flat and knees only slightly bent, until you feel a strong hamstring stretch — usually around the shins.
3Drive the hips forward to stand.
4It's a hip hinge, not a squat, and the bar stays against the legs the whole way.

Cues that matter

›Soft knees, push the hips back
›Bar close to the legs
›Feel the hamstring stretch, then stand
