Overview
Goaltending is a complex position in a complex sport. In the end, however, it can be over complicated to the detriment of performance. Ian Clark has put together ten simple ideas that that can give you a significant performance boost. Best of all they can be added to your game without excessive intervention or teaching required. These are straight forward ideas that many of today's top goaltenders have implemented into their game. The 10 Simple Tricks the Pros Use are both easy to understand and to implement. Each of them applies to the practical/tactical side of the position. There are four predominant ways goals are scored - traffic related, rush related, net-play related or rebound/scramble related. This book is designed to help streamline these key tactical areas in your game. As always with The 10 Series, these ideas will help you make more saves. This book is easy to understand and, most importantly, puts the reader in control of enhancing performance and stopping more pucks. Ian Clark, along with contributing writer Dan Cloutier, uses his 25+ years of goaltender-coaching experience, from all levels of play which has included working with many of today's leading netminders, to assemble this practical resource. 10 Simple Tricks the Pros Use is the third book in The 10 Series. The 10 Quickest Ways to Improve Your Game and The 10 Secrets to Great Rebound Control are also available on amazon.com.
