Another Hip Strengthening Mobility Drill For Goalies
Just to recap… Mobility = Flexibility + Stability This is why those goalies who just do static stretching to get a wider butterfly flare, deeper splits and more athletic movement in the crease end up frustrated because although they make marginal improvements, they never get a significant return on their investment.
