Hockey Goalie Training Pro Q&A – 04.24.25 – Off-Ice Training for 18u and 20u Goalies

Welcome to another Live Q&A session from Goalie Training Pro TV, where we delve into the nuances of goalie training and share expert tips to elevate your game. Whether you’re a seasoned goalie or just starting, these strategies will help you refine your skills and improve your performance on the ice.

Simple Yet Effective Exercises

Recently, I shared a video on my YouTube channel, Goalie Training Pro TV, featuring two simple exercises designed to help goalies make a second effort save. These exercises are particularly beneficial for newer goalies who might struggle with quick directional changes after a butterfly push. If you find yourself spinning in circles or losing balance, these exercises are for you. Check out the video for a detailed walkthrough and see how these drills can make a world of difference.

Off-Season Training Tips

As the off-season approaches, it’s crucial to focus on building a strong foundation. This is the time to work on your movement, stabilization, and strength. Start with the basics and gradually incorporate more complex drills. Remember, it’s not about impressing with goalie-specific exercises right off the bat; it’s about ensuring you have a solid base to build upon.

Agility and Stamina

Incorporate agility-based stamina training into your routine. This includes 100, 200, and 300-yard shuttles, followed by isometric holds or explosive power exercises. These drills help improve your agility and endurance without adding unnecessary wear and tear.
