Jamie Phillips, a Sport Scientist and goaltending coach at Michigan Tech pursuing a Doctorate of Physical Therapy, identifies key gaps in goaltenders' physical preparation and diet. Through his company Victorem Integrated Performance, he emphasizes scientifically backed off-ice training and nutrition — including pre-game meal planning — to help goaltenders perform consistently and reduce injury risk.
- Goaltenders frequently lack proper nutritional habits and structured physical training, according to Phillips, who holds degrees in Exercise Science and is completing a Doctorate of Physical Therapy.
- Injury prevention through targeted off-ice training is a priority, with Phillips specifically addressing what goaltenders should focus on in the final months of the summer off-season.
- Nutritional supplements and pre-game meal planning are underutilized tools for goalie performance — Phillips has published a dedicated pre-game nutrition article with downloadable PDF recipes for InGoal Members.
- Phillips founded Victorem Integrated Performance to provide goaltenders with scientifically backed programming covering both nutrition and off-ice training, and can be reached at @VictoremPerformance on Instagram.
- Danglers (chin guards) are covered in a segment with The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, explaining equipment options and how to mount them for safety and quiet mask integration.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Phillips talks about the things he sees missing from a physical and dietary perspective in goaltenders, injury prevention through training, off-season training with an emphasis on the last few months of the summer, the use of nutritional supplements and more. With an undergraduate and Master’s degree in Exercise Science and now working towards a Doctorate of Physical Therapy, Phillips understands the position and the needs of goaltenders and can communicate his knowledge clearly and concisely. His dual role of Scientist and Goalie coach also give him a perspective on the position and its needs like few others possess. Phillips began Victorem Integrated Performance with one goal in mind, to help athletes perform at their best each and every day through scientifically backed programming in both nutrition and off ice training. He can be reached via DM on his Instagram page @VictoremPerformance. He is also a new contributor at InGoal with his first nutrition topic – Pre Game Meals is now published for InGoal Members to enjoy.
