The audio segment published here takes you directly to the Parent Segment from this episode.
Key Takeaways
- Evaluate goalie coaches and camps by the quality of repetitions, not the complexity of drills or how tired your goaltender appears afterward.
- Fancy, visually impressive drills are not a reliable indicator of effective goalie development.
- Trust the process: purposeful, well-structured practice sessions are the hallmark of quality goalie instruction.
- Goalie parents should adjust their expectations for what a productive training session looks like compared to general hockey practices.
- Stop It Goaltending U presents this guidance as part of InGoal Radio's ongoing education for goalie families.
Episode Notes
In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, we talk about the importance of understanding that good goalie coach, school and summer camp experiences are not always about fancy drills or exhausted kids, and knowing that quality reps might look a little different.
