Dryland training videos 2008

GoaliePro - Goalie drills and videos for dryland training

I have not posted any videos here in a long time, so I thought it is time to do so now. Here in this article you will find 9 different drills we do use with our goalies when we work on things like speed, quickness/quick feet, agility and conditioning. Hope you find them usefull.

Rememeber that these are just a very small sampling from hundreds of different drills I use during the off-season with my goalies. Right now I am also in a process of creating some new drills to match the needs of the pro's I have workign with me during the summer months.

How many sets should you do this? Do you take long or short breaks between the sets and drills?
How many drills do you do every workout?



Thanks!!

Great resource Jukka - thanks.

I will show these videos to my goalies tomorrow during our training session to let them see what goalies in Finland are doing off season.

Cheers,

Wellsie

Thanks!!

Normally we do 4-8 set per move. Recovery time is based on HR that needs to get down to about 120 before starting a new set. Workout sessions are usually 1,5 h long, which means that we get through warm-up, 12-14 moves and cool down.

Like Jukka, we also use the ladders frequently.
Here are some examples from our pages.
There are 50 more.. (but behind the lisence).
Sorry about the text; it is in finnish ..so far.

Jukka and Finnish Beaver, thanks for posting those clips.

How have you arrived at 120 HR?

I ask because my Polar Own Zone is 131-147, and to follow Polar's advice as one gets to the lower value, it is time to increase the activity level to stay in the zone.
I am also going to assume that the goalies you work with are in condition where their Own Zone should be higher than mine.

Which leads into a different topic, in the latest issue of Goalie's World, (the one that mentions your name), Justin Johnson discussed, as the heart rate increases the ability to make good decisions decreases.

Do you see any value in tossing numbered balls to a goalie as they exit a drill, with the HR high, and ask them to catch odd numbers in the left hand and even in the right, thereby forcing a decison duirng a period of stress, or would that exercise still be considered reactionary, or is there no value to the concept at all.

I believe there was a post here a few years back about this very topic, of which I know Jukka contributed to in regards to how decision making processes are poor below a certain threshold, and above a certain threshold. I don't recall the exact information but maybe a search on here might provide some clues back to that thread and the initial article that spawned the discussion.

My searches came up with these.

Faster heart, better tender?

Goaltenders heart rate project

GoaliePro.com - Using Polar heart rate meters, Christian Weber, ZSC Lions interview

GoaliePro.com - Polar heart rate measurement in hckey goaltending

Some of the links are broken, and some of posts imply that the goalie's performance improves at a higher HR, which is the opposite of the Johnson comment.
Perhaps I should spin this off into a seperate thread?

I distinctly remembered the article being from the Mayo Clinic and I did some research and found this article which I believe to be the original cite that Bryan put forth.

And yes, this might need its own thread, but this is Jukka's thread, maybe he can make a suggestion as to whether it should stay here or go elsewhere.

[Jukka Ropponen]

I use HR measurements based on the individual values of my goalies. main ones are max HR rate and from there I can calculate their zones and then of course I need to know what their anaerobic threshold is.

I know for all my goalies where their performance is at peak and when they get to the zone that every shot is dangerous etc... It is all based on following and recording their HR rates at practices and games & matching to their performance.
