Hey goalies!
Join Maria Mountain, exercise physiologist & goalie trainer, in this week’s episode of Goalie Training ProTV. We are entering Month 4 of your off-season training and it’s never been more important than now to stay consistent and avoid injuries. This phase focuses on easing back volume and load while emphasizing explosive power and speed. You’ll also be skating more, so let’s make sure your pre-skate warm-up and post-skate recovery routines are dialed in.

Key Points On Managing Late Off-Season Goalie Training:
- Don’t panic if you’ve neglected your off-season training. Start where you are and progress steadily.
- Ease back volume and load.
- Focus on explosive power and speed.
- Increase skating, reduce aggressive mobility training, and off-ice stamina work.
- Dial in your pre-skate dynamic warm-up and post-skate restorative module.
Goalies At All Levels Of The Game Should Focus On:
- Consistency on the ice requires consistency off the ice.
- Start where you are and keep moving forward.
- Once the season starts, settle in for a week or two, then begin your in-season program.
