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.

Single Leg Deadlift

A hinge on one leg where the free leg acts as the counterbalance, and the hips have to stay level to do it.

What it works

Whole Body

How to do it

1Stand on one leg.
2Hinge forward at the hip, letting the free leg extend straight behind you as a counterbalance, until your torso is roughly parallel to the floor.
3Return by driving the hip forward.
4Keep the hips level — letting the free hip open toward the ceiling is the standard fault.

Cues that matter

›Free leg extends straight behind
›Keep the hips level throughout
›Drive the hip forward to stand
