The Mental Goalie
The Mental Goalie School – Elite Training for Mind and Body
At The Mental Goalie School, we develop goalies who are not only technically sound but also mentally strong. Our training philosophy combines on-ice skill development with mental toughness and focus, ensuring goaltenders perform at their peak in both practice and games.
Training Approach
Our unique teaching method integrates high-level goaltending fundamentals with mental performance strategies, helping goalies improve:
✅ Positioning & Movement – Mastering angles, depth control, and efficient crease movement.
✅ Save Execution – Refining technique for increased consistency.
✅ Situational Awareness – Developing hockey IQ to read plays effectively.
✅ Mental Resilience – Strengthening confidence, focus, and emotional control under pressure.
We train out of The Ice Shack, our own private mini-sheet facility in Chelsea, Maine, just 10 minutes from Augusta and 45 minutes from Portland. This controlled environment allows for highly focused, individualized goalie training with expert coaching.
Camp & Clinic Formats
Our camps and clinics provide structured training to maximize skill progression, including:
🏒 Small-Group Training – Focused development with a low goalie-to-coach ratio.
🏒 Game-Situation Drills – Repetition-based training to prepare for real-game scenarios.
🏒 Video Analysis – Breaking down mechanics and decision-making for improvement.
🏒 Mindset Training Integration – Teaching goalies how to stay mentally sharp in competition.
