This is part of a 10 part series where I am giving you 10 Secret Habits of Pro Hockey Goalies. I’ll give you a head’s up on some of the habits that help them and some of the habits that hold them back. This first one deals with their approach to goalie specific mobility training.
Habit #1 – Mobility
Some Goalies are still just doing stretches and not making their mobility training active enough.
I’m going to walk you through a 5 min goalie specific mobility workout you can do now at home that will translate directly to the ice.
- Hip Flexor Myofascial Release with Lacrosse or Bivi Ball – 30 seconds per side
- Upper Glutes Myofascial Release with Lacrosse or Bivi Ball – 30 seconds per side
- TFL Myofascial Release with Lacrosse or Bivi Ball – 30 seconds per side
- Shoulder CARS – 1 each way on both sides
- Hip CARS – 1 each way on both sides
- T-Spine Rotation – 4 each way
- Tall Half Kneeling Pails&Rails – 1 each side (60s/30s/30s/30s)
- Single Knee Balance – 30 seconds each side
There’s a full mobility workout that is actually going to benefit you when you step on the ice. You can even do it if you are stuck at home right now.
Happy training.
Cheers,
Maria
