Goalie Talk Is Coming Soon!

Evidently help for goaltenders is lacking out there, because The Old Coach has been inundated with requests for a special section dealing with that unique position.  So, because the aim here at CoachChic.com is to provide exactly what YOU want, a netminder’s category is in the works — right here and right now!

As of now, our New England Hockey Institute goaler coach, Todd Jacobson, is readying material to help interested parents, coaches and players wind-down from the current winter season and gear-up for an outstanding next season (please see “A Year-round Hockey Training Plan” for more information on this approach to training; it’s in the Timely Advice area).

Coach Todd will be the guiding force behind the new goalie section, but he’ll also be joined by other popular instructors.

Yours truly (good old Coach Chic) will also contribute some advice here…  Mainly I deal with goaltenders within a team structure, so I’ll offer some tips in that area, as well as provide some ideas on how I think goalers should be handled in game and practice settings.  Further, since my specialty is motor learning, I’ll have plenty of suggestions when it comes to quickening or strengthening a give movement.

So, if things go according to plan, look for this section to kick-off in April, 2009!

Now, to make things even better, you ought to send your questions in to Ask the Coach as soon as possible and I’ll steer it to the right specialist.  Again, much of what we hope to offer is help where you really need and want it!
