ELITE GOALIES: Small adjustments for big gains and efficiency 

Thank you for the video Pasco. Really liked how you demonstrated how a goalie can be constantly changing his head height from the ice when going into the butterfly.

So helpful, I will be changing my stance accordingly. Thanks

Hey Pasco, I found this to be very helpful. I worked on my stance and kept my shoulders over my knees and feet with arched back. Magic! Thanks for explaining this so well. It made a big difference for me.

Hi Pasco I just came across this video. Very well done and helpful. I would like to point out that when you drew the rectangles around the goalies head you did not draw them from the same starting position. The goalie on the right was down and the goalie on the left was up. Since the rectangle is anchored it makes a big difference. So when you ran the video and there movement the comparison is not the same. I think it will shed a bit of a different light on the goalie on the lefts head movement in comparison to the one on the right if you do. Thanks again!

Well done, respect from Czechia!

those are some elite goalies

Good video

This is actually brilliant insight

Thanks!

Some good points made.. how many guys out there have had both hips bone on bone had replacements and got back into goal. Im going under the knife and have been advised I will never play goal again, ive played beer league hockey and last few years old timers so its not fast hockey. Mind you I would love to just walk again without pain and with pride firstly.

love it. thanks for the video

That was so helpful!

I think the goalie on the left is a blocking style goalie while the right is reactive which is shown through the pad roll/ knee bend. I think it changes enough to warrant a thought. Just my opinion, if I am wrong please reply and tag videos to help me learn thanks.

guy on right is also much taller with a wider stance so when he drops the level change is less. but i think you are right left side is sitting too low on his pads if he lifts his chest as he goes down it will keep him more in the box you drew.

Hey it's Cal Petersen on the right. Kid is going to be a stud somewhere if not in LA.

Thank you for the video. I practice at oval every week. Hope to try some training with you but I think im still young. Hope you can see some of my videos and I can try some training

To be honest (thumbnail), I wouldn't call swapping your glove from left hand to right hand as a small adjustment. ;)

Glad you enjoyed it

Hey Kevin you bring up a really good point, it’ll be interesting over the next number of years to see if the national hockey league Institutes a month maximum up down safety element very similar to a pitchers throw account. Lots of National Hockey League goaltenders have entered in for hip surgery and now younger athletes 19 to 22 are also doing the same. Preserving our body is incredibly important and therefore making the appropriate adjustments so that the parts fit properly, Nees stacks are used appropriately And that limiting the number of up-and-down’s to speed is it with and that limiting the number of up-and-down‘s . Finally it’s incredibly important for North American goaltenders to adopt a pre-warm-up routine prior to engaging in any off Ice activities, in Europe it’s a part of their culture and lifestyle in North America were too quick to run from the car to th ice activities, in Europe it’s a part of their culture and lifestyle in North America were too quick to run from the car to the ice. And I mean proper garments a good 30-40 minutes
