anticipation. As a bonus we have added plyometrics and other exercises to increase speed and power.
Videos and Video Analysis
Students will view videos on all aspects of the game; highlighting the goalies responsibilities, and analyzing the different goaltending styles. The goalies will also be video taped on the ice and their performance will be analyzed with their instructor in a classroom situation.
