    Make sure he is getting enough fluid, that is #1 – so he should weigh himself in just his boxers before and after games and practices. For every 1lbs of weight he loses (that is going to all be water weight), he should be consuming 250-500mls of fluid. Eat within 30-minutes of coming off the ice, even just a snack and then he can have a proper meal after that. A nice stretch after the game or practice and of course getting his sleep. That’s it, just cover the basics

    Hope that helps Rob – really, he is lucky to get so much game time – a great opportunity to get better.

    Hi Maria, my son is 17 and plays on a High School team here in CO. Unfortunately, he is the only goalie on the team and is seeing 60-70 shots per game. He is having difficulty with his body recovering quickly enough for the next game. He has attended Eli’s elite camps and has a pretty stringent diet and workout routine. He is using the biosteel supplements as well as Epsom soaks. Any ideas to help in his speedy recovery? Thanks

    Thanks for your kind words Martin – I love that program too! You certainly can start again, the second time through you will be more familiar with the technique and you will be able to use heavier loads and be more explosive on your agility drills. I think that is a GREAT plan. Make sure you start at the beginning so you can re-build those foundation moves. It might seem a little easy, but it is very important as it is a progressive program.

    Then you might want to look at one of the other programs I have, but there are no others that are so nice and compact as this – Goalie Workout Club might be a good next step. http://hockeytrainingpro.com/wordpress/training-programs-goalies/

    I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
    Cheers,

    Hello Maria,
    I have bought you rapid response goalie training and I must say that is perfect. Although I had to buy some equpment I still think that is one of the best trainings I’ve ever seen. But I have one question for you. If i finish 10 week training, what I should do then? Star again with more difficult reps?

    Thanks for your answer

    Hi Eddy,

    Nice to hear from you. I just did a search too and I don’t think I do have any videos on getting back after ACL reconstruction, which surprised me. I guess I better add that to the ‘to do’ list.

    The key with ACL reconstructions is to get full extension back – this will take away much of the knee cap pain that can follow ACL reco – it has nothing to do with the ACL itself, but walking around on a very slightly bent knee will irritate the knee cap.

    When you say the knee still bothers you, does it shift or give-way on you or what do you feel. If you could let me know some more details and the exercises that you have been doing for it the last month or so (plus when you had your reco), then I am sure I can give you a couple things to add in.

    Cheers,
    M

    Hi Maria,

    Loves the videos. Been looking through your youtube page and wondering if there is anything on ACL injuries. Had a full reconstruction awhile back and it’s still bothering me. Any stretches and exercises that you would recommend to help build support on the knee.

    Thanks

    Hi Kyle – not sure if you also sent this to me in an email, I got one that was almost identical, but just in case it wasn’t from you. Yes – it is fine for goalies. Kids do not need ‘sport specific, position specific’ training program, they need to learn to use the muscle they have and to stabilize.
    Cheers,

    I have a 10 year old goalie ( 5 ft tall, 105 lbs) who is looking to make the move from AA to AAA next year.

    As part of that, he’s constantly asking for me to put together a routine for him to follow when he has time during the week to improve his conditioning, flexibility, strength, etc. I know some of what I can do as an adult for a lot of that but I know it’s not appropriate for him. Thanks for your information confirming that :-)

    Anyway, is the Puck Battle Domination program going to be an appropriate program for him as a goalie? Or is it more suited to a player?

    Thanks!

    The fountain of youth was my first thought, but then I see you said ‘other than that’ :) So my second thought is, do you have a good dynamic warm up before you go on the ice and do you do a nice cool down stretch after you come off.

    Here is a sample dynamic warm up – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYJ1UOhuanw
    I hope it helps Bob! Let me know
