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

1From an athletic stance, make a quick counter-movement dip and immediately explode straight up with full triple extension of the ankles, knees and hips, reaching at the peak.
2It directly trains your standing vertical leap.
3Keep the dip shallow and fast — a slow, deep dip leaks power.
