TRAINING FOCUS
100% attention
100% effort
100% of the time
Have fun
Play happy
Play with a purpose
-
Skating - crisp, clean, powerful, explosive, and efficient
-
Stance - finding a balance between form and function, being able to change directions at any time
-
Save Selection - building a foundation of saves that the goaltender can revert back to when facing the shooter
-
Coordination - hand-eye, agility, athleticism, balance, and practice with a purpose
-
Mental Toughness - reading the play as it develops and knowing how to react; understanding that goals will go in, then learning from our mistakes; get motivated, not frustrated
-
Muscle Memory - with the increased speed of the game, goalies cannot think when making a save, it needs to be a natural and instant reaction; repetition produces muscle memory, so proper practice makes precision performance under pressure.
