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.

How to do it

1Stand tall with the handles overhead, then drive down by hinging at the hips and crunching the trunk, finishing with the hands past your thighs.
2It's a hip hinge, not an arm pull — the power comes from folding at the hips and using your bodyweight.
3Return under control to full extension before the next stroke.
4It's kind on the legs, which makes it a good conditioning option when your legs are already beaten up from training.

Cues that matter

›Hinge at the hips, don't just pull with the arms
›Finish the stroke past your hips
›Stay tall between reps
