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.

Snatch

One pull from the floor to overhead, and the most technical lift in the gym — worth learning slowly with a light bar.

What it works

Whole Body

How to do it

1From the floor with a wide grip, pull the bar close to the body, extend explosively, and pull yourself under to catch it locked out overhead in a squat.
2The most technical lift in the gym — it needs coaching and months of practice with a light bar.

Cues that matter

›Keep the bar close on the way up
›Extend fully before you pull under
›Catch it locked out and stand
