...off the ice training? Hi, I am an ice and roller hockey goalie. I am creating a comprehensive workout program for myself in hopes of pushing myself into elite physical condition and furthering my game to it's highest level. I have already sorted out cardio and strength training as well as stretching but I am having trouble finding resources for hockey goalie specific plyometrics, this includes things **** as sprints, ball drills, reaction training and agility training. I know there is info out there just none I can acess free on the web. I was wondering if anyone here had info on plyometrics/dryland training for the hockey goaltender with as much specific as possible. Thanks a bunch.

short sprints help, since goalies don't ahve to move over a far distance, you want to make yourself quicker, and asprints are the way to go. also if you have a friends/teamate and a tennis ball, find a big wall and have that person stand behind you and throw the tennis ball at the wall from diferent angle. and you have to block it with your body or catch it with your glove hand.i guess you could also just try doing squats?my friends is a goalie and this is what she does...

practice juggling racket balls off of the wall, leep frogs, shuttle runs (focus on quickness in and out of the stops), any leg work outs rrealy, standing on top of one of those big yoga balls (start off with kneeling if standing is too hard), do push ups with your hands on the yoga ball too, finally - possibly most important STRETCH!!
