same! Never really stretched much growing up as a kid playing net. basic stretches day of game and right before. Was never seriously injured thank god. Now that I am much older I feel I most definitely need to stretch more.
Yes, it's amazing how we lose it when we don't use it... and we get less bend-y without putting in the work as we get older. Let me know how these feel for you@@mikezxzx
thank you , you have helped me immensely, I'm 66 years old and i do stretches most of the day before the game, i have a tight groin and have hurt it in the past ( in the Army)
Thank you! These are great goalie coaching videos. I've gone from a 'dad in the stands' to blocking pucks at my son's 14U practices over the past year. I've never played hockey before, so I searched most of the Internet and found your stuff to be the best!
Butterfly challenge user here. Novice beer league goalie and I started my first ever season following the challenge to a t. Took time away from it and noticed my performance went way down. Back to daily stretches and it’s working wonders not only to widen but to help me move on the ice better!
Strained by groin November '21, just after you released your 3-part groin injury recovery videos, which helped tremendously! Been doing the stretches ever since. You added two variants which I will add to my routine. As a 60yo beer leaguer, everything hurts (no matter what LOL!) but your exercises minimize the strain and pain of playing. Looking forward to more.
awesome, coach. with the new tear I'm retaking on the good path of regular stretches. for the last couple of months I've been pretty inconsistent with my stretches, with all my off ice training to be honest, haven't been able to keep a good schedule, all the way back when the SOA shut down. I know I just have to save my pennies to get into the new program. have an awesome new years eve and a fantastic 2023!
Just getting back into being a goalie after 15 years, and wow has the position changed in terms of gear and movement! I'm already sore from one casual drop-in - as expected after such a long break - so I have to take it a bit slow for a bit. But I'm determined to keep working to improve flexibility, durability, and strength - I want to keep playing for as long as I can. I'm so glad I found your channel, it has been extremely helpful; thank you so much for making this content! I'm on day 11 out of 14 of the butterfly challenge, and I can't wait to get out on the ice next to see if I've made any improvements :)
You have the right attitude - slow and steady will win that race, it will take time for your hips to become 'goalie hips' again. Be patient with it. Let me know how you feel after your next skate Alexandra!
@@goalietraining Finally back out on the ice, and wow! What a difference - post butterfly challenge and following various exercises and stretches I've learned from your videos, I feel so much better. A lot of the movements felt easier - plenty of work to go, but a massive and encouraging difference so far :)
@@LuciferFayte It is encouraging isn't it - that's why I put out so many simple strategies, so that anyone can do them and feel what a great difference it makes. Happy for you Alexandra and thanks for taking the time to actually DO the work.
Hey Maria! When is the best time to do your Strategic Mobility Program? before or after training or separately in the evening? does it matter when i do it? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for this great video! What do you think about Kasimir Kaskisuo’s hip routine? Can I do those exercises in the evening before I streches? PTP bands are very good I think.
It's not bad - he is doing what he likes, - some of them his technique is not quite isolating what he is trying to work. Give this a look too - ruclips.net/video/ez847aaVfCw/видео.html
I don't have a specific routine for skaters, I've just focussed on goalies for the last 10-15 years. You could try them and see how they feel - just go easy.
Maria super video! It’s good if I do your In Season Streches and I do 10 minutes static streches( 30s hold) pigeon,hip flexor, 90/90,frog strech ,etc…after my ice session? Thanks in advance!
I don't think it will hurt you, but remember the goal of mobility training is to improve your functional range of motion, not just stretch the muscle like a rubber band.
@@goalietrainingthank you very much! Can you help me please then what should I do after the ice session? Your in season goaile streches are enough or what should add to my routine?
@@Charlie-iz8xp do THIS - ruclips.net/video/EkWdbEuMZsc/видео.html after you skate. If you are serious about dramatically improving your mobility from month to month, then you will need to follow a strategic progression from month to month to continue seeing improvements and to get into some more advanced techniques. This video is essentially the bare minimum. You can check out www.strategicmobilityforgoalies.com if you want a step by step plan to follow.
@@goalietrainingthank you very much🙏🏻. Last question😅. So it’s good if I do your In Season Streches and your Post game cool down routine after my ice sessions?
No, not really. Would it be better than doing nothing at all? Probably. Would it be anywhere near as good as these ones I just gave you? No. Sorry Suzanne 😊
As a 15 year old, I think I am doing pretty good with daily stretching as I am doing it every day. I consistently stretch my legs but do not consistently stretch my groin (About twice a week). I have found going into a split pretty difficult even though I can get it really far out. I will definitely use these five to make it easier on my groin so I am not tearing it up every time I have to extend it
I was surprised that the Fire Hydrant stretch wasn't included in this. I would say I need that every Game. I would say I stretch 5 days a week and spend roughly 30-40 minutes before a game stretching. It is beer league and I am 34 so I say stretching is a must.
There are hundreds of stretches that I COULD have included and as I mentioned in the video these are not the ONLY stretches every goalie needs to do. You love your Fire Hydrant, so you can keep doing that one in addition to these.
Sorry, but the only goalies I work with privately are the goalies in my Turning Pro Coaching program. That's why I put out so many videos, so you guys can follow a long even if you aren't in my top level program.
@@goalietraining ok no problem. I crouch a lot when make the butterfly save . I started practicing standing tall going down on the ice during warmup. Hard to break out of it after 20 years of crouching saves. I even bend back and lose balance make a save sometimes without doing it on purpose. Maybe i can follow a link for balance and looking big in nets and positions of stick glove blocker.
Correct - it has not worked for a few months, Apple updated the platform and it is no longer compatible. I'm not an app creator, so we are out of luck for now.
i haven't played goalie in many years and started playing again, will definitely do those every day to prevent injuries, thank you.
You know what they say about an ounce of prevention. Welcome back to the blue paint!

@@goalietraining will do trying tonite before a scrimmage. Thanks!
Have fun out there! And do those a little bit before you get on the ice, they aren't intended to be 'warm up' stretches.@@mikezxzx
thank you , you have helped me immensely, I'm 66 years old and i do stretches most of the day before the game, i have a tight groin and have hurt it in the past ( in the Army)
Thank you for your service... and glad to help you limber up and stay out on the ice.
Should I do these before a game too
Use these more as part of your mobility routine, they are not intended to be a warm up.
@@goalietraining ok thank you

Thank you for your kind words. You are brave to be getting out there - I hope you are having a blast with your son's team!

Glad to hear you bounced back from that injury AND that you continue to work on your mobility - that is the key. Glad to help Kirk!

You have a great new years as well! Consistency is the key - - start with just a quick mobility routine every other day and build from there.
@@goalietraining thank you!
the algorithm reminded me of this video and a little question popped up in my mind.
Can the SMR on the bottom of the feet promote plantar fasciitis?
If you are overly aggressive with it over time, then it could certainly irritate your PF, but if you do it properly then no.
ride on@@goalietraining thank you!
Perfect timing for Christmas ODR bad ice shooting gallery, 😆
ha ha - - oh boy - you REALLY need this.
Was wondering if you face time training
Just getting back into being a goalie after 15 years, and wow has the position changed in terms of gear and movement!

Hey Maria!
When is the best time to do your Strategic Mobility Program? before or after training or separately in the evening? does it matter when i do it?
Thanks in advance!
I would do it 2-hours or more before training or anytime AFTER training
@@goalietrainingthank you very much! I gonna do it in the evening before I start my streching routine.
@@flaszlo70 You are welcome!
Thanks for this great video! What do you think about Kasimir Kaskisuo’s hip routine? Can I do those exercises in the evening before I streches? PTP bands are very good I think.

@@goalietraining thank you🙏🏻! I love those Band exercises I feel that I improve a lot with those hip routine.
It is amazing how well it works when you consistently work on the right things.
I imagine these would work well for a forward player as well right? Do you happen to have a video specific to groin stretches for non-goalies?
I don't have a specific routine for skaters, I've just focussed on goalies for the last 10-15 years. You could try them and see how they feel - just go easy.
Amazing

Serious question, would the Suzanne Somers Thighmaster be a helpful exercise for hip mobility ?
No, not really. Would it be better than doing nothing at all? Probably. Would it be anywhere near as good as these ones I just gave you? No.
Sorry Suzanne 😊
@@goalietraining Haha, well I was thinking in terms of 'as well as' and not 'instead of'.
@@darryleldon1284 I still don't think it's your best option :)
i do streches maybe 7 min a day in the morning
