Off-Ice with Adam Francilia: Swiss Ball Groin Buster

Adam Francilia works with some of the best goalies in the game and today returns with another position-specific exercise designed to help you become a better goaltender. The Swiss Ball Groin Buster has important strengthening components but also emphasizes muscle-firing patterns and biomechanics we employ on the ice.

Working with Francilia, we’re continuously impressed by his ability to watch a goalie on the ice and diagnose biomechanical issues that can be improved with targeted work in the gym. That work is as much about training the correct movement patterns as it is about building strength, and it’s something you’ll recognize in the Swiss Ball Groin Buster video below.
