any ideas on how to work out a 10 yr old who has just started playing goalie ? My son recently made the switch from forward to goalie, and i have never played that position and would like some suggestions on how to make his play better

Nice channel. I recommended it to one of my hockey playing friends.

hi from sweden, could you make a video on how to train to get stronger legs. tnx in advance! :)

Maria, I'm struggling with some aspects of my game, and I'm hoping you could help.

- My arms get tired after a while and I can't shoot straight anymore, is there something I can be doing off the ice that can help me improve my upper body endurance.

- I'm extremely fast on the crossovers but I'm always gliding on crossovers, how should I go about increacing my leg strength where it counts for the turns? (I don't have a problem with agility, even at full speed I can turn on a dime but I want to be able to do crossovers at full speed?

- Also, when I do crossovers, I'm noticing that I've got a shorter stride, how can I improve my flexibility to increase the ammount of power and the length of my stride on the crossovers?

- I want to get up to a 170+ weight range. I'm 5'7," 140. how should I train to get there? Thank you so much!!! -Bryan

TheHumanoidi - I think if you are stretching once per day - everyday that is a great place to start. If there are some areas that need more work, then I might target them twice per day. You English was great - good question. Check out this video for some ideas about stretching - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=TRw8_9MkEfU
Cheers,

I have bothered one thing, how many times a day is a good stretch? Sorry my bad english by to way. :)

You must get good at one of two things; planting in the spring or begging in the fall. Keep planting them seeds BABY!

Much love,
Justin

Maria these workouts are awesome! My workouts had been pretty sparadic because i never really saw how they related to my on ice technique (i'm a goalie btw), but yours is the first site i've seen that really addresses off ice workouts for goalies in a way that is going to be immediately noticeable on the ice. thanks again for providing these!
