How To Avoid Getting Slower | Hockey Goalie Training

[@claudegagnon3259]

Good day young lady.... I'm two years into my goalie experiment.... At 59 and 8 years into a Parkinson's diagnosis, I got off of my butt and attempted to play +55 shinny... Not having enough stamina to keep up with the others, I took my, never played as a kid, body and thought about starting my goalie life... After a few marketplace purchases, I started playing shinny.... I'm now, two years into this experiment and never having been professionally fitted for costly equipment, I constantly keep my eyes on the lookout for newer gear.... That being said, I've found an amazing group of men and women in the +55 shinny family, that are my biggest cheerleaders.... I've watched and enjoyed many of your instructional videos... Thanks.... I'm still learning and having fun.... I think... Hahaha.... Cheers

Good for you Claude! That is incredible, kudos to you for sticking with it! It can be very frustrating when you are starting out... those guys on TV make it look so easy. I'm keen for you to get some new gear, it really makes a big difference when you have gear that fits a little better and feels lighter on your body. Keep it going - let's see where this experiment leads!

It's been a while. You are so PRO. I don't play or coach hockey but over the years, you have been key in my progression as a trainer and coach. I'm glad to see you're still at it. 🙌🏽

[@goalietraining]

Thanks Kenny. I appreciate that 🙌

[@ChrisJones-hp9ji]

Thank you so much for everything. Meeting us where we are at. Could you talk about ankle flexibility sometime?

[@goalietraining]

My pleasure to help and I love your idea to make a video on ankle mobility - so, so important for goalies. Great idea, thank you!

[@mtlgoalie62]

Great exercises. I literally just got scored on in a game in Monday similar to that glove save Freddie made. I got there too late for the rebound.

[@goalietraining]

So frustrating - it's like you are skating in quicksand sometimes - your brain knows what to do, but you legs won't get you there.

[@mtlgoalie62]

@@goalietraining I just thought it was my age. Hahaha. I will definitely do these to try and get those patterns working.

[@goalietraining]

@@mtlgoalie62 Give them a try and let's see how it goes.

Very nice. Thank you

[@goalietraining]

You are welcome. 🙏

[@JesDickerson]

These are great, thank you! Would love some more info on building the bottom up strength. I do your exercise of starting kneeling and pressing up, and it’s helped a lot, but my butterfly recoveries are still so slow. Maybe a video on how to improve recoveries specifically with off ice exercises?

[@goalietraining]

Great idea Jes… I’ll have to put that on my To do list.

[@srStinnky]

As always: great video! can I use this during my in season, as I don't have an actual off season. thank you!

[@goalietraining]

Yes - - even goalies with an "off-season" are still skating and some are still playing, it is very common these days.

[@srStinnky]

@@goalietraining great thank you!

[@TheSenatorXMG]

Great video. How often would one do these exercises per week?

[@goalietraining]

4-7 times per week as part of your mobility routine.
