Marcus Beesley - Word Pro - Integrating Goalies Into Practices - Geared towards Coaches
In this presentation, Marcus will cover two main topics: 1) how to integrate goaltenders into team practices effectively, and 2) basic goaltending technique and how to teach/reinforce it in the absence of a dedicated goalie coach. These are two areas that are sometimes neglected but are of great importance to a team, and we hope that this presentation will assist coaches in strengthening their goaltenders without doing so at the expense of the rest of the team.
