- Here’s how hockey goalies get the MVP mindset. Hockey goaltenders need to be mentally strong, but this mindset strategy goes deeper than that. If you can develop it, it will become the foundation of your success in hockey and beyond.
Here’s where you get the FREE program I mentioned in the video. It gives you a 2-5” wider butterfly flare in 14 days or less - bit.ly/butterf... OR if you crave a deeper splits, then I have a FREE program for that too - bit.ly/splits9

I love being a busy goalie keeps me focused but have much to improve after returning from injury. Love this channel.
Definitely keeps your attention doesn’t it? Sorry to hear about the injury, but it sounds like you are working your way back, keep it going!
@@goalietraining thank you 😊
@@JuicyFullback You are welcome Lucy.
I have seen 40-50 shots today and I let in 7 goals. I feel like this will really help with my next game thank you
We all have games like that - onward and upward!
I think controlling the game in my head translates into controlling the action on the ice. When I was younger, I just reacted. React. React. React. When something happened that I didn't anticipate, it would stick in my head and cook all night and I would never get rid of it. I was my own worse enemy.
Now at 60, with 1 1/2 years of re-training under my belt, I'm transitioning from conditioning and re-learning the skills to being in the game before I step on the ice. I look at the roster of the other team and run "my book" on their tendencies. Once the game starts, I'm watching the players on the ice, seeing the good matchups, the not-so-good match ups, knowing what I have to do when the attack comes my way. "Attacker A" never crosses the slot to take a shot, always stays on the side he skates down, putting the odds in my favor. My "D" who tends to get trapped up ice being offensive minded, I'm making decisions on how I will play a breakaway if it happens. The goal in my head: Never getting surprised on what happens on the ice.
I've found with working the game in my head, it's easier to remind myself to keep my basic skills going. Hands in front, small shuffle, butt down, lower the center of gravity. This current season my goals against has dropped considerably. I credit myself with staying with the basics, physically and mentally. Above all, it's my responsibility to do my job. It's not my teammates fault, not the ref's, it's just how the shots and the game turns out.
I wish I had this game sense and wisdom when I was younger but it didn't turn out that way. The goalie I am now is more mature and enjoys the game more than when I was a kid.
Thanks Maria!

I really like that breakdown of the process Kirk - - being prepared, having a plan and keeping the plan simple. Going back to the basics is always a good move. Just like when we were really little kids... we didn't "think"... we just played. Thanks Kirk.
I got injured last week 5mins into the first period my knee locked up and had no back up goalie so I finished the game we lost 7-3 but I pushed myself. I Looked up, Got up, and I never give up on the plays and now I feel the pain is gone because it only last a few mins or it can last a life time I never GAVE UP🤘
I'm sure your team appreciates how well you battled through, sometimes that's what it takes. At the same time, listen to your body and make sure you get your knee looked after to make sure there isn't something going on.
@@goalietraining thanks to your vids it sure helped me out a lot it's not that bad now. And yes I did get it looked at and nothing major so I'm on recovery right now and sat down for two games now.
Glad you got it checked out and it is feelng better. Good work. Speedy recovery. @@averyabraham5743
One thing I cannot seem to handle is being nervous before a game. My heart rate speeds up and I get all agitated, and it affects my performance on the ice. I've tried to switch mentality and think 'hey there's no need to be nervous, I GET to play hockey today and I GET to have fun on the ice instead of sitting on the bench'. It kinda works, but I still feel the pressure of not wanting to let my teammates down.
What I find really helpful is to follow my routine of exercise, stretching, meditation, training and so on, but sometimes I think being too religious about a routine can become dangerous because if something happens and I can't let's say stretch one day then I stress about it. Meditation helps dealing with the mental side of the game, but I think the most important thing to learn is that we are not perfect, as you said. Hockey should be fun and it's easy to forget that if your goals are unrealistic.
PS: your channel is awesome! It helped me playing again after a very long time off the ice and gave me the tools to do it right. Thank you.
I agree with you - some goalies have such a long a detailed routine that it can set them up for trouble if things don't go as planned. I know what you mean about the nerves, it's something I've struggled with... but I also know that once I get 2-3 minutes into the game (or the race - I get most nervous for ski or running races), then I will settle in and it will all be fine.
In addition to reminding myself that I GET to do these things, I also remind myself that those nerves are pretty similar to excitement... so I try to trick myself into believing "wow, you are just really excited"... doesn't always work :)
You get nervous because you care - it is good to care.
That happens to me too. I really like your attitude that I GET to play hockey. Spot on!
@@bethgardner2819 yeah, sometimes we take it too seriously and we need to actively remind ourselves how lucky we are.
😎👍🏒🥅🚨 GOALIES RULE!!!
Darn right!
The thing is when I’m in net my confidence goes low because I’m thinking “oh they can score here or here” and I feel like I’m not doing my movements properly
You have to learn to trust your training and just go out and play the game - have 1-2 technical things that you are going to focus on - very simple things and that is all you think about when you are on the ice.
To paraphrase Jocko Willink, whenever something bad happens, ‘Good.’
yes! Exactly.
love it
Thanks Andres.
Hi Maria! Static stretches are good after training if I hold them for 20-25 seconds? How many minutes should I stretch on an average day?
Thanks in advance!
Static stretching is fine - it all depends on your selection and how you work it into the rest of your mobility program. Static stretching will not be enough to maximize the type of mobility you need as a goalie but it does have its place. Have you tried the Butterfly Challenge yet? Search for it in your app store to see how static and dynamic stretches work together.
Thank you very much!
@@flaszlo70 You are welcome Laszlo.
Can you help me I’m scared when tall kids shoot and I can’t help myself stop being scared can you help me please
Why do you feel scared - are pucks hitting you through your gear? Are you getting stingers? If so, then I would be looking to upgrade your chest protector or glove or mask or whatever it is that's letting you down.
If it is more just a flinch, then a lot of it is just trying to get used to it. If you ever have a chance to take shots from someone you know who can gradually increase the force behind the shot, but put it consistently in your midsection, so you can get practice swallowing up those shots and teach your brain that you are not in danger, it is okay. That should help.
@@goalietrainingno they shoot hard and I can’t see the puck and I can’t save those can you help me with that if you can please do
That just takes practice - so any time you are on the ice, practice finding the puck, watching the puck all the way into your glove, blocker, stick, body, whatever it is. You can practice catching with your glove at home and watching the ball all the way into the pocket of your glove. But really it is just a matter of developing the skill of finding and following the puck.
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Maria. I’m a 49 yo goalie in the UK, find my game is like a roller coaster, for a few weeks the puck is like a beach ball, then for a week or so, I can’t track for the life of me. Is there anything that would help?
Thanks Glen
I think part of it is accepting that sports are like that - - look at NHL goalies who go through the exact same thing. Look at pro golfers who go through the exact same thing. It stands to reason that we will have ups and downs as well. Be happy for the ups... and accept that the downs are a part of it as well.
But also make sure you are working on the things that will make you more consistent on the ice - maybe it is your mobility, your speed, your stamina, your catching, your positioning... whatever it is for you, make sure you are putting in some extra work on that, because if you aren't doing something to make it better, then why would you expect it to get better. Make sense? Does that help?
