With more and more of you getting into ‘off-season training mode’ I have had quite a few emails asking about the difference between the Ultimate Goalie Training 3.0 system and the Rapid Response Goalie Training system. So I will break that down for you today and in the future I can just direct inquiries here…
For those of you who have been with me forever, this will be a review so I will try to keep it short.
Let’s start with the Ultimate Goalie Training 3.0 System. This is the first online goalie training program I created and it was originally based on my elite off-season training program that I run at the Revolution Studio every summer. It is a pro-style off-ice training program for goalies who are really looking to take their game to the next level – AAA, Junior, College or pro.
I do have adults who successfully complete this program but it was designed more for the 14-26 year old goalie who is committed to become the best goalie possible, but may not have access to a professional strength and conditioning coach with experience training goalies. Goalies on this program will:
- Get a 12-week detailed training program telling you exactly what to do on which day
- Train 6 days per week (workouts will range from 20-minutes up to over 1.5 hours)
- Need access to dumbbells (ideally a barbell as well), stability ball, resistance bands or cable column, ideally a chin up bar (but not necessary)
- Receive a training calendar for the in-season as well as the off-season
- Train to develop flexibility, stability, strength, stamina and speed
The Rapid Response Goalie Training System, was created based on a questionnaire I sent to members of my email list. I asked them what they wanted my next product to include and they told me quite clearly – they wanted a quick, goalie specific workout that they could do at home.
This program was designed for the very busy goalie – perhaps a high school goalie or an adult goalie who has a lot on his or her schedule, but still has a very strong desire to improve their play on the ice and reduce their risk of injury. For goalies who have not followed a detailed off-ice training program before, I think it is a good place to start as well. Here is what you will find with this program:
- A 10 or 15-week training program based on which schedule you choose to follow
- You decide whether you train 2, 3 or 4 times per week
- Can do all workouts at home with just dumbbells, stability ball and resistance band
- Workouts last from 20-40 minutes.
- Training to develop flexibility, stability, strength, stamina and speed.
So the big difference is this – if you are chasing the dream big time – you need the Ultimate Goalie Training System. If you are serious about hockey, but because you are a little overwhelmed right now with other obligations you do not have time for the pie-in-the-sky training then the Rapid Response Goalie Training system is for you.
See you later in the week for more practical off-ice training tips.
Cheers,
