As I mentioned in the ACL injury post last week, you cannot really make the “knee” itself stronger, but you can make the muscles that cross it stronger and SMARTER to help it maintain it’s stability.

When you add those together you get more durable knees, which is great for any goalie.
I offered to give you some more exercises if there was interest and I heard back from a lot of you, so there is definitely interest there. As promised, here are some progressions…

Talk soon, Cheers,
