IN-SEASON TOTAL GDI ACADEMY

 

OVERVIEW

The In-Season Total GDI Goaltending Academy is designed to support the competitive athlete. With hectic team practice and game schedules in mind, the Academy gives goaltenders the opportunity to train before school hours to maximize their time management ability and create a positive environment to succeed at both education and hockey development. Our goal is to provide world-class goaltending instruction which is lacking in other school programs. In addition to on-ice development sessions goalies will receive performance mentorship with their club teams. This includes a visit to a game, along with video review in order to support and enhance game play throughout the season.

 

ON ICE SESSIONS

Goaltenders will follow a progressive teaching curriculum designed with elite athletes in mind. Technical improvements as well as tactical approaches will highlight this development. All on-ice sessions are one hour in duration and include 10-15 minutes of confined-space movement. Only 6 goaltenders are accepted into each group. This provides goaltenders a low athlete:coach ratio to maximize on ice development.

 

GAME ANALYSIS

A GDI Instructor will attend one game to provide a detailed game report with an action plan to be followed up during on-ice sessions. Using GDI’s underlying benchmarks we can ascertain which of these variables represent weaknesses in YOUR game and then provide you with an array of development information. This information is then used by GDI Instructors to design YOUR monthly on-ice sessions to develop those areas of your game. In addition, GDI goaltenders are able to purchase numerous video analysis sessions following their first video breakdown.

 

EVALUATIONS

Goaltenders in the Academy will receive quarterly reports on both their on-ice sessions as well as their game play analysis. This feedback is essential in the process of developing elite level netminders. They will be able to understand both their strengths and weaknesses as a goalie, enabling them to take their game to levels they have never achieved.

 

OFF-ICE SESSIONS

With the partnership of ELITE Performance, GDI Prairies has established many new prosperous training options that will lead to each goaltenders individual success.

ELITE provides a world that incorporates every athletes desire. ELITE uses a comprehensive evaluation to design a customized program, specific to the athlete, his or her sport, and often their position. From this approach, ELITE guarantee’s superior performance and results. To arrange a supplementary off-ice training component please contact ELITE by calling (204) 831-6758 in order to schedule a consultation.
