Goaltending iQ: Leveling the Playing Field for Young Hockey Netminders
In the demanding world of ice hockey, the goaltender holds a unique and crucial position. Often requiring specialized coaching and training, young aspiring netminders can face significant hurdles in accessing the expert guidance needed to elevate their game. Recognizing this gap, I've launched Goaltending iQ, a comprehensive service designed to empower goalies of all ages, regardless of their competitive level.
Drawing upon two decades immersed in the goaltending world, my experience is something I'm truly proud of. Having had the privilege of learning from some of the globe's most respected goalie and strength coaches, I'm now channeling that wealth of knowledge into a more accessible format for the next generation.
I've been passionate about the goalie position since I first stepped between the pipes at seven years old. Having coached and instructed for the better part of two decades, I've seen firsthand the impact that quality coaching can have. Goaltending iQ is about making that quality accessible to more young athletes.
Goaltending iQ offers a multi-faceted approach to development:
-
Individual and Group On-Ice Coaching: From one-on-one sessions to small group training, goalies will receive tailored instruction focusing on fundamental techniques, positioning, puck tracking, rebound control, and strategic game awareness – all based on what I've learned and successfully implemented over the years.
-
Cutting-Edge Video Analysis: For more competitive goalies seeking that extra edge, goaltending iQ offers in-depth video analysis. By breaking down game footage together, goalies can gain invaluable insights into their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for strategic improvement – a tool that has been invaluable in my own development and the goalies I've worked with.
Whether a goalie is just starting out or competing at a higher level, Goaltending iQ is my commitment to fostering their growth and continuing their passion for the position.
