It’s okay to feel a bit overwhelmed at the start of a new season when you are getting used to a new team, new routine, getting back to school… there’s a lot going on.

Make things easy on yourself by focussing on just these 3 things for the first 2-4 weeks.

1. Recovery - and that doesn’t mean using the massage gun or sauna. I listed the big 3 of recovery on the second slide above.
2. Mobility - but not the same mobility you did during the off-season
3. Routine - establish a new routine as quickly as you can around school, practice, games, team lifts, etc. If you are going to need a gym membership, get that sorted.

It’s okay to be a bit overwhelmed. It is not okay to let that lead to procrastination. Make it your goal to be back into a regular routine within 2-weeks.

A workout can look impressive and still be the wrong workout for you.

Before adding another hard session to your preseason schedule just to ‘TOP UP THE TANK’, ask:

1. What will my camp or tryout actually demand?
Look at the number of skates, the schedule and how quickly you will need to recover.

2. Where can I get the most bang for my buck?
Do not train everything equally just because you are unsure what to prioritize.

3. Can I recover from this session?
Training only creates improvement when you can adapt to it.

Now is not the time to hammer yourself into the season. It’s the time to fine-tune and recover.

Save this before planning your next week of training.

Competence, confidence and consistency doesn’t appear on game day.

It start on Tuesday morning, when nobody is watching.

Those 3C qualities are a direct reflection of your:
➡️ Identity

➡️ Habits

➡️ Standards

➡️ Self-Respect

Every workout, every meal, every mobility session, every time you go to bed on time, you cast a vote for the goalie you are becoming.

If you are ready to train with a proven system instead of guessing and your willing to accept some accountability for your habits and standards, DM me “PLAN” and let’s talk.

You’ve all seen a fellow goalie make a huge leap from one season to the next. You can’t help but wonder, ‘What’s their secret sauce?’.
Here’s the truth about goalies who make huge leaps ⬆⬆⬆

If you are feeling stuck and don’t have time to lose, DM me PLAN and I’ll do my best to point you in the right direction. I’ll reply to all DMs (not ‘PLAN’ in the comments).

He was ‘doing everything right’ but his training wasn’t changing his game and here’s what turned the tide.
I love working with goalies like him. He was driven to be the best he could be AND he was putting in the work consistently week in and week out.

But when we had our first Zoom call and he explained his DIY routine that included ‘everything he needed as a goalie’ I saw the two of the three most common issues that derail a goalies progress from one season to the next.

1. He thought more exercises = Better training, so he wouldn’t miss anything
2. Effort applied to a random program progression
(the 3rd one is not training consistently)

When we decided to work together the first thing we did was take his discipline and channel it into only working on the things that would build the adaptations that he needs right now, because that set him up to progress from one training phase to the next.

His program does not look like a little bit of everything, it looks like specific workouts for specific adaptations and only 35-days into his off-season he’s already frustrating the shooters at his prospect skates.

If you feel like you’re doing everything right and not seeing dramatic improvements on the ice, DM me PLAN and stop guessing. Send that as a DM not a comment please.
