FUNDAMENTALS THROUGH REPETITION

In order to train a goaltender to react to a shot with the correct movement the goaltender's 'muscle memory' must be set. To do this the goaltender must practice the correct movement over and over again so that it becomes engrained into their play. By performing the correct movement repeatedly a goaltender becomes comfortable with the save and all incorrect movements feel awkward, uncomfortable and are quickly corrected. Whenever TGC instructors are teaching the fundamentals to goaltenders or correcting bad habits, repetition is the key teaching technique that we use.

90% of goaltending is being at the right place at the right time!
