I’ve stretched 3-4 times a week since I was around 14. I’m 44 now. I feel - for me - it’s stopped or minimized injuries I’ve had throughout the years. Prepares me for strength work and game play.
I stretch 3 to 4 nights a week. Outside of hockey I’ve done a lot of jiu jitsu so I’ve always been flexible. I’m just playing hockey now so the stretching is very necessary. Stretching definitely plays a difference in my game.
Yes, the Jiu jitsu will help for sure with flexibility , but also control. Now that you add in the right kinds of stretching for goaltending, that will really help you.
I yoga daily and target hips lower back and knees. I arrive to the rink one hour before ice time to get a quick 30 minutes of stretching in be fore i gear up . 65 year old beer league goalie It helps me immensely I also go to strength and conditioning trainer once a week
Hey Maria, currently, in the off season, I do static stretches for 25-30 minutes after gym workouts. After ice training, I do your In Season Goaile Stretches. In the evenings, I try to stretch a, and do hip strengthening tasks with usually a mini band (which Kaskisuo does). What kind of stretching do you recommend in the evening? Thanks in advance!
It depends a bit on what you've been doing for the past 4+ weeks - proper mobility training is a lot like strength training, you follow progressions from phase to phase. If you haven't done the butterfly challenge yet, then that is a good place to start (the link is in the description). If you have done it then the advanced program is www.strategicmobilityforgoalies.com
I respectfully disagree that 30 seconds is enough. Maybe for a beginner it's sufficient but once you get older and more experienced basically every flexibility coach says more than 30 seconds. Even PNF stretching takes more time than that. I understand that the research days other wise but when the research is limited we can't expect their results are set in stone. Even for myself after 20 years of stretching, 1 min 30 seconds to 2 minutes stretches helped me increase my flexibility way more than 30 seconds.
I welcome your disagreement - my 30s was based on a peer reviewed meta-analysis published in a scientific journal, it's not my opinion, just sharing what the research says. But I also mentioned that we do holds in excess of that (like up to 3-minutes using our FRC techniques as well. There is no one answer, it is a mixture of art and science.
What stretching should I be doing in the offseason, if any at all? Is it ok to just start stretching a few weeks before the season starts? Im only a recreational goalie.
It depends a bit on your age, but if you are over 14 years of age, then you should be working on your mobility at least 4 times per week, even in the off-season.
i am a goalie i need to know how to find out how to size pads i was wondering if you could make a video about that. it would help me so ,much i would really appreciate that thank you :D
This is a great suggestion, but my area of expertise is the strength and conditioning side. From personal experience I also know that the sizing can vary quite dramatically from brand to brand, so a 32+1 in Vaughn might be different from a 32+1 in Warrior. All the brands will have guides for measuring and sizing pads on their websites, but the very best option if possible is to take your skates to your hockey shop and try the pads on with your skates on.
I think it's a little much, unless you are working around an injury. 20-40 minutes should do it if you are working on the right things. Or if you just really like mobility training, then that's fine :)
40 hours per week...oh wait that is how much I should be working each week. I would say on a regular basis - a little bit, 4 to 6 days a week as needed
Yeah, that's a full time job isn't it Chad. Yeah, I think 15-30 minutes 4-6 days per week is a good start - but it needs to be consistent, even when you feel you don't 'need' it.

I think that is a great routine and you've nailed the most important thing... consistency!

I have been lazy this summer. Just picked up with the butterfly challenge (again) work outs. Massive improvements. In a couple weeks!
No time like the present to get back into it - good work starting up again Ed.

That's the way to do it! Prepare your body for the demands of the position - good job!

I’ve been 45-60 min a day for 7-8 days a week…
