Increasing Foot Speed

This video builds off a previous article discussing some important concepts relevant to increasing goaltender foot-speed. Drills like this shouldn't be done nearly as often as regular edge control dills, and this video shows some examples of drill patterns used to target foot-speed. Included is a commentary by Evan Kurylo explaining some of the theory. The article can be found at:

Excellent description of blending coaching principles with physiology to maximize adaption.

[@DrDr-pg5br]

The neuro system adapts first. You are correct. It takes a lot of repetition to solidify the movement and make the speed more permanent.

Btw why people saying week but I know that a week has 7 days lol lol 😝

Love this. Thanks

[@motor_citymuscle288]

This is an awesome drill

[@lorizuccato5382]

Yes it is

Is there an actual specific pattern or is it just random movement at fast pace at the goalies discretion? I hope I can have enough room at Stick & Puck to be able to practice Edge work. I tried to skate at my frist one two weeks ago. There was 30 people on the ice because Southland Leisure Center rinks had melted (and still are) I plan to go out to Cochrane as soon as I can as they have one nearly every day. I've been waiting to get custom orthotics to support my Arch which gets flattened out due to my weight. Granted I might just try plan old insoles because I'm dying to skate.

You can choose any pattern you like, I used these ones because they're in a smaller space which means a lot of direction changes. I also had these ones repeat so the goaltenders are familiar with the next steps and don't have to think about where to go, delaying their weight shift, loading, and pushing. The parameters are basically small space (a bit bigger than the crease) and a pattern that promotes quick accelerations in different directions.

After the 15sec of ATP has been used how long is the refraction period, in other words what is the downtime required to be able to access your full 15 seconds of ATP again. & is the reset/refraction time able to be “hacked” or shorted through some kind of exercise. Fantastic contact interested to hear your feedback.

[@CoretexGoaltending]

Hacking the refraction time is a good question Ryan and honestly outside my scope of research for this project. In terms of the downtime, from the textbook Sport Physiology by Bowers & Fox (1992) suggests 2-3 minutes to restore ATP, further noting that exertion in that 90-100% range should follow between a 1:12 and 1:20 work interval to rest interval ratio.

Great info, is the video sped up?

[@CoretexGoaltending]

Thank-you. No the playback is actual speed, just a few great skating goaltenders and one crusty old guy at the end ;-)

[@thirstfast1025]

Good lord! I just learned to butterfly push yesterday! This might kill me! LOL!!!! Awesome drill though! Will be fun to use once I'm there on the skates!

[@n.reed_3981]

You there yet?

[@thirstfast1025]

@@n.reed_3981 I just today had my first good 1 on 1 in the driveway (on skates, I make a little pad and freeze the net in, my brother runs around shooting tennis balls at me), and it felt GREAT! My slides are getting buttery, though they still lack some direction when I push with my left foot. Definitely vastly improved since I watched this! Thanks for asking!
