Goalies are insanely flexible and their puck tracking skills are next level. To work on puck tracking trainers use mirrors to reflect light into the stands and make it dart around while the goalies try to follow it with their eyes. Just one of the next level things goalies do to work on these skills.
trying to be a goalie is scary, it's a special breed of person who can stand in front of 100mph frozen rubber without blinking. To be a good goalie you need to be extremely flexible with a FANTASTIC hand-eye co-ordination. After those you need the focus of a brain surgeon, if you blink the puck goes by you. Look at pictures of goalies in net wearing their mask, check out their eyes, they always have this insane wild eyed look from the intense focus they have on the puck.
1:30 that scorpion kick while laying on his stomach in full goalie pads is INSANE, so much core and leg strength
