geezer7178 - I have found the goalieNews issue with the "quiet eye" article you were inquiring about. The issue is Volume 3 Edition 1 of the goalieNews which features J.S. Giguere on the cover. It is about two pages in.
goalies-r-us - Thank you for the suggestions. One of the issues I have about writing a book is that fact that some of the books available such as Brian Daccord's book and Jim Corsi's book are aimed a little more at the beginner goaltender. Of course, we will have to present beginner and fundamental information such as this article but I feel our material is better suited for the intermediate to elite goaltenders. Most of our article writing is aimed at our Midget "AAA" Prep students and Top Prospects students. As of now it is hard to find the time to back track and start writing material that is easy for a grade three to seven level reader. I find that I then have to break down the information and try to make it as entertaining as possible which takes longer, for me at least, than writing for older goalies. It is all a conundrum that I am sure will come out when we meet with our possible publisher this summer. I do want to end by saying you have provided me with a lot to think about.
The way I would like to break down the book writing into volumes would be to have:
-A technical and tactical edition where we discuss the physical parts of the game such as using the angels, movement, b-fly, rebound control, playing deflections, etc.
-A game and team situational edition for our articles topics from early/late game success to being coachable to communication.
-A mental training edition
-A drill book
-A goaltender dryland training edition
So much to write about but not enough time, right now.
