I'm no fiveholegoalie, but I'd say if you really want to get mentally right, prepare like you're playing a game at home. It's not ideal, but spend the time to visualize situations. Glue them into your memory and keep walking through them. Get used to the snap of a save rather than falling into it. Doing so will give you that extra fraction of a second to keep position.

Disregard at will, as I know you're looking for a pro's help. I figured I'd just chime in with what I do. Visualization is everything. Playing beer leagues, you spend probably more than 90% of your time off the ice. Getting your body right is good, but your mind is the difference maker when it comes to goaltending.
