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

1Lying on your back, press the bell up with one arm and stand up without ever taking your eyes off it, then reverse the whole thing to the floor.
2Roll to the elbow, to the hand, bridge the hips, sweep the leg through to a half-kneeling position, stand, and come back down the same way.
3Stop at every position rather than flowing through it.
4Practise the whole sequence balancing a shoe on your fist before you ever load it.

Cues that matter

›Eyes on the bell the whole way
›Stop at each position before the next
›Practise it with a shoe on the fist first
