Welcome to our latest Goalie Training Pro Live Q&A session. In this edition, we’ll explore essential tips and tools for goalies looking to enhance their skills, particularly in puck tracking.

Key Recommendations for Improving Puck Tracking

  1. Focus on Visual and Motor Skills
    • Puck tracking requires both visual focus and hand-eye coordination. Regular practice is essential to develop these skills effectively.
  2. Utilize Training Tools
    • Catch Ball: This tool is perfect for practicing catching skills without the worry of the ball rolling away. It can be used anywhere, making it a versatile training aid.
    • Visual Edge Software: This program, which requires special 3D glasses, is designed to enhance your visual tracking abilities. It challenges your brain to fill in gaps when tracking moving objects.
    • Sense Arena: This platform offers visual tracking drills that simulate real-game scenarios, helping you to track the puck more effectively.

Personal Equipment Insights

We also discussed the importance of comfortable and well-fitted equipment:

  • Chest Protectors: A well-fitted chest protector can significantly impact your performance and confidence on the ice. It’s essential to find one that feels comfortable and provides adequate protection.
  • Pants and Other Gear: Choosing the right pants that integrate well with knee pads can prevent slippage and enhance mobility.
