Athlete Spotlight: Jake Vancoillie I've had the privilege of training Jake for a little under a year now. The progress he's made during that time has been so impressive. That progress is a direct result of his relentless work ethic. He is so stubborn about going over and above what he's asked to do. He's emerged as a true leader in the gym and really contributes to the positive atmosphere. The future is bright for this guy.

In case you missed it, l wrote an article earlier this month about what our focuses are during this first bit of true off season training. If you’re a little late getting started on your training, no problem! Hopefully the breakdown in this article will give you some ideas about where to start. The link is in my bio, and as always, if you have questions about anything related to your training or your game, don’t hesitate to message me on here, email me, or send me a text. Whatever it takes to help you reach your full potential!

Check out this helpful tip from @sensearena! Try not to make a save! Nuts? NO! It's great to stop for a minute and really focus on reading the release and where the pucks went in the net. Just try it. You can learn how little you have to improve to make a save. #goalies #goaltending #hockeygoalkeepers #hockeysense #seeitstopit #nhl #goaltender #hockeygoaltender #releasereading #goalcrease #trainyourbrain #getintheflow #findyouredge #sensearena #readandreacthockey #officetraining #hockeyathome #htcvive #oculus #icehockey #hockeycoaches #hockeyplayers #hockeyteam #virtualreality #hockeytraining #readandreact #boxcontrol #pucktracking #goaliedrills #hockeydrills

As things start to tighten up again here in Ontario, it’s looking more and more likely that at least another month of at-home workouts is on the horizon. Taking care of the health and fitness of my goalies this past season has been more challenging than most. The biggest challenge has been writing programs for my goalies with the uncertainty of when hockey will return.... http://goaliecoachandrew.com//off-season-part-1-lockdown-/

Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com The last time we found ourselves in this situation of being locked down and stuck away from our usual gym equipment, I wrote a bit about some ideas for things to do at home which you can find HERE. This time around, I want to get a bit more specific about how to keep making progress, even if the only thing you have to work with is the ground and your body.... http://goaliecoachandrew.com//making-body-weight-exercise/

Happy Wednesday! We're on Day 3 of this most recent lockdown. I wrote this post in May towards the beginning of the last lockdown, and since we find ourselves back where we started, I figured it would be appropriate to share again. This may be geared more towards our younger goalies and goalie parents, but some of the principles work across the board, so check it out! http://goaliecoachandrew.com//helping-your-young-goalie-a/

Hey guys! I wanted to take a second to share a great new resource. Coach Mike Valley, formerly of the Dallas Stars, has started a free email newsletter with lessons from his many years coaching and playing at the highest level. https://coachvalley.substack.com/... I can say personally that the lessons from coach Valley have impacted the way I coach and I'd love for you guys to have the opportunity to hear from him directly. Enjoy!

I don’t know about you guys, but it’s been great getting back on the ice. As our area continues its recovery from the pandemic, it feels as though we went from no ice time at all, to an abundance of it in a few short weeks. The time off was a forced reset that I’m starting to look at with gratitude. [ 810 more words ] http://goaliecoachandrew.com/2020/10/21/play-your-game/

We’re humbled and thankful to have the opportunity to provide you guys with goalie related content, and we’re thrilled to be able to reach so many of you! 1000 followers is great, but we hope this is just the beginning!

Stay tuned for more!

Hey Goalie Parents, I hope you all are staying healthy and well during this time. It's been surreal watching this pandemic and its effects unfold on the news. My wife keeps saying that it feels like we're living in a sci-fi novel. That being said, we're also seeing people spending time with their families more than ever before. I can say personally that this is the most time I've been able to spend at home with my family since I was in high school. [ 797 more words ] http://goaliecoachandrew.com//helping-your-young-goalie-a/
