Alumni Update
MTN would like to acknowledge some of the accomplishments of some of our students.
While we believe our philosophies and training style is very strong, it is still
up to each goaltender to use the tools they are presented with and for that
we need to give some props to some big alumni accomplishments.

VISUAL PROCESSING TIME
We have all seen the remarkable save out of nowhere, is it muscle memory or
just advanced visual, mental skills?
Any learned sports skill begins in the thinking part of the brain. After years of practice, the movement and save selection required is second nature to the goaltender. So it is easy to think that the skill resides in muscle memory. But even those rote actions involve a tremendous amount of mental processing. They are just happening to fast for the goaltender to realize that they are going on.
Elite performance depends on good vision! Good visual skills fire signals to the mind that then controls the Body. Elite goaltenders want to be in the zone. The magical place where visual, mental and physical skills work in perfect synch. Movements seem to flow without conscious effort.

Do
not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

The Basics of Goaltender Specific Movement
Goaltending success is always dependant on a number of factors but before anything else a goaltender must have strong visual skills and be adept at goaltender specific skating/movement. There are a number of basic skating skills such as sculls(c-cuts), shuffles(short lateral), and swoops(modified t-push). With a wide array of goalie specific skating there are some basics for all movements that we stress at Mind The Net. There may be some disagreements with some of this but we have found ours goalies gain a lot of confidence and get dramatically better with their movements by following what you will read below.
