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

Legs

How to do it

1Sit with your back and hips flat against the pad, feet mid-platform about shoulder width.
2Release the safeties and lower until the knees reach around 90°, then press without locking the knees out hard.
3Letting the lower back round off the pad at the bottom is what injures people here — stop before that happens.

Cues that matter

›Feet mid-platform, knees track toes
›Don't lock out hard
›Full controlled range
