‘Tenders Tips #7 – “Fitness goals” make all the difference

Break out your running shoes and get fit to stop more shots.

No, not goals to improve your fitness – but we’ll get there. I often think about the goals I let in and many of them I classify as “fitness goals.” These are the ones that I just couldn’t get into position for but I knew, if I were fresh, I would grab every time. It might be the third or fourth shot in a scramble, it might be late in a very busy game, and yes, it might come when my fitness isn’t what it should be. Perhaps I didn’t have the energy to move quickly enough, or the lack of fitness made my technique suffer. Either way, more goals than I care to admit are fitness goals that I simply wouldn’t let in if I were in better shape.

We can’t train to be big. Lots of us don’t have the experience or the coaching to refine your technique like a pro. Not everone can afford the latest, greatest gear. But every one of us can improve our fitness. And it doesn’t need to cost a penny.

It’s not enough just to play the game if you want to be the best. Get fit. We’ll talk more about it in the future but for now – schedule 45 minutes of aerobic exercise into your life three times per week. Running, Cycling, Swimming, just get out there and get moving.

It’s free. It’s good for you. It makes you a better goalie. Guaranteed.
