The Perfect Goalie Shooting – Holiday Clinic
with MIZE & Special Guest
MIZE coaching 7
The Importance of Goalie Strategy – because just Blocking is not Everything!
Many coaches and athletes reduce the job of a goalie just to blocking – but that is far from the reality! Every single action of a goalie – in defense as well as in offense – has to be well thought out. The perfect positioning, appearance and communication are crucial factors to influence a game in the right direction. Avoiding a shot and forcing an opponent to think twice or decide for a weak opportunity are as valuable qualities as being “great on the goal line”. MIZE offers his annual Holiday Goalie Clinic after Christmas to refer exactly to these topics. So don’t miss out to sign up if you want to improve your game!
