Great points I find when I focus on keeping 'dry diaper' my saves are effortless. Thanks good vid.

[@goalietraining]

a dry goalie is a happy goalie :) Glad you liked the vid.

[@davidsisak8413]

Great tips Maria! You just taught this 61 year old keeper a bunch!! Thanks, and keep up the great work!! Sis, Toronto Canada

[@goalietraining]

So happy to help out Sis - - keep kickin' those pucks out!

[@stevedobos7548]

Just bought gear this year and have been following your videos. They help a ton. Will be working hard this year on off ice training to get better and play in local beer leagues. Thanks a ton!

[@goalietraining]

Amazing!! So excited for you Steve - glad to see you unleashing your inner goalie!

[@drewwshunt]

Great video Maria. Both my boys have had this challenge. We have been working on “core strength” as we always thought it was a strength issue. Always appreciate how on point your videos are.

[@goalietraining]

super glad to help Andrew - that is a common misconception :)

[@jakeoldroyd7226]

I needed this thank you

[@goalietraining]

You are welcome Jake.

[@petegalindez9961]

As always, great video and very timely! We were just discussing this last week. The cold sore looks tough....rugged!

[@goalietraining]

HA HA - - glad the video helped and yeah... no one is messing with me when I have that eruption on my face ha ha!

[@hockeygoalie8895]

Thank so much for this

[@goalietraining]

You are welcome!

[@rolandbouchat7462]

clever technical lady indeed...ONE QUESTION milady...what is the strength of your elastic band please?

[@goalietraining]

That would be a 1.5" Superband m'lord ;)

Great video. Not a strength issue; nor a conditioning issue; but a muscle memory issue. Btw, that was a rad hoodie (with the goalie silhouette). Help a goalie Dad out... where can we get such a garment?

[@troyburnett2830]

And where do I find the Elvis Merzlikins video re: stance?

[@goalietraining]

@@troyburnett2830 I put it in the description for this video - here you go.... Here's the interview where HC Lugano goalie coach Michael Lawrence breaks down his thoughts on stance and how he's helped Elvis Merzlikins work it into his game - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHevq4d-j8aEftk

[@goalietraining]

Glad you liked it - happy to help. Those are Goalie Training Pro hoodies that I get custom made - I send them to goalies in the Turning Pro Coaching program when they are absolutely crushing their training...

[@jamesireland9700]

I am going to give this a try. I hurt my mcl and l am convinced it is because l sit my butt down in my butterfly. Now after weeks of rehab I noticed a slight ting in my knee following a butterfly and then conscientiously noting hey sit up. I see a real link and key to this 60 year old goalie's salvation. I'll let you know how it goes and thanks by the way for all your advice over the years

[@goalietraining]

Thanks - let me know how it goes.

[@rolandbouchat7462]

I have one more question Maria...actually, when I do Active Hip Flexor exercize on your program I can feel the bundle of muscles but no tender spot. When I roll a bit, I get nearly to the same spot than in TFL where I got a very good tender spot. is it normal? does it have to be this way because I do not seem to find any other tender spot!

[@goalietraining]

Yes, that is fine for sure, we will all feel it in different spots - the fact that you feel it in the TFL suggests that maybe you are using (overusing) your TFL to flex your hip maybe? Maybe work on this activation drill for your hip flexors to see if you notice a difference. Push for about 5s and do 5 on each side. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJbZpWB_mraql7s

[@rolandbouchat7462]

@@goalietraining yeah I am doing it every 2 days (like on the program) but I will push with the 20% because it is too easy as it is on the program

[@EduardoMartinez-dv5gx]

Hello, I have a question. I want to know if there is a bib for goalkeepers. On the internet I don't see if there is a difference between boys and girls. Peto = Chest. Chest protector. I don't know how to translate it. I use google translate. I'm sorry. Thanks

[@goalietraining]

I don't think there are female specific chest protectors - I am not aware of one.

[@EduardoMartinez-dv5gx]

@@goalietraining Thanks a lot for your answer.

[@alixf3227]

Thank you! 20+ years and i still have issues with this

[@goalietraining]

Hopefully some of these drills will help it feel a little better - let me know how it goes.

[@savannah975]

I feel like I drop into butterfly really well when I'm only practicing it but I can't combine it with a reaction that well like in real games

[@goalietraining]

This is part of the learning process, currently you are 'consciously competent' which means, when you are thinking about it, you can do it. Which is great because there was probably a time when you had trouble doing it right even when you were thinking about it. With deliberate practice, that pattern will be come 'subconsciously competent', meaning your brain will just know to do it, even when there are so many other things to think about like in a game situation. Keep working on it, you are 75% of the way there!

[@rolandbouchat7462]

Interesting...funny i seem to have more balance on the right side than on the left for my first time exercise (on the last exercise)...I assume it needs practice...Funny thing, during my last training, I did not pay attention to my flare at all but focused on trying to break the habit of sitting on my butt and I must admit it has paid...I seem to have stopped more shots standing quite tall, not even paying attention to my flare...but it is a habit to break to keep resting on one's butt.

[@goalietraining]

Agreed, sitting back isn't usually a strength or mobility issue, it is just a bad habit.

[@goalietraining]

Awesome - no better position in all of sport - have fun, be patient with yourself.

[@christytauler5672]

We can also pretend there is a fire under our butts. “Don’t get burned” as my coach says😉

[@goalietraining]

That would do it for sure! YIKES!!

[@OldFogeyGoalie]

Interesting. Not a matter of strength, but conditioning.

[@goalietraining]

Not even really conditioning in the 'strength and conditioning' sense - but in the habit conditioning sense.
