Why Pro Vision Goaltending?
At Pro Vision Goaltending, our mission is simple: to provide goalies with the best tools, guidance, and coaching to help them achieve their goals. Regardless of skill level, we push our goalies to strive for greatness in every session. Our passion for goaltending drives us to coach and inspire the next generation of pros. We focus on uncovering each goalie's unique skills and improving their game to make them stand out. Our aim is to empower goalies to reach their full potential while fostering values of sportsmanship and dedication. Together, we shape confident, exceptional goaltenders ready to make their mark.
What makes us different from other goalie schools?
At Pro Vision Goaltending, we are dedicated goalie coaches who embrace continuous learning in the ever-evolving world of goaltending. Our focus is on building solid fundamental details that directly enhance goalies' proficiency in advanced save selection, technique, and efficiency.
We prioritize the development of reading and anticipating plays, equipping goalies with the knowledge of potential threats when the puck enters their zone. By staying ahead of the play, our goalies gain a competitive advantage.
We recognize the significance of visualization and mental strength in goaltending. Given the demanding nature of the position, we diligently cultivate these skills, ensuring our goalies are prepared to navigate the ups and downs that come their way.
Rather than promoting robotic movements, we encourage goalies to rely on their intuition and trust their game, stopping pucks naturally by reading and reacting to different scenarios. Pushing them beyond their comfort zone and fostering creative thinking are constant priorities, as we recognize the unpredictability of game situations.
What skills we teach?
At Pro Vision Goaltending, we ensure every goalie understands the basic fundamentals by teaching essential goalie movements such as C-cuts, shuffles T-pushes, Butterfly Recoveries, and more. We believe nothing will help improve your game more than being the best with the basics.
Moreover, we also equip goalies with the latest tools and techniques, ensuring they stay updated and make saves in the most efficient manner possible. We understand that every goalie has their own unique style of play, so we empower them to choose movements they feel comfortable with. By customizing our approach, we help goalies develop the best save selection that aligns with their individual playing style.
To bridge the gap between practice and game situations, we incorporate drills that simulate various in-game scenarios. This approach allows goalies to directly apply the lessons learned during our sessions to their actual games, enhancing their performance and decision-making abilities on the ice.
Where do we train?
Our sessions operate from The National Training Rink(NHTC) in Langley BC and The Richmond Ice Center in Richmond BC. We can accommodate clients to arenas in your area as well. Contact us for more information.
How is a Private Session structured at PVGS?
Private sessions stand as one of the most effective methods for goalie development, allowing for an optimal 1:1 ratio between coach and goalie. This unique setting presents an exceptional opportunity to thoroughly analyze and break down every aspect of a goaltender's game.
Tailoring our approach to the specific needs of each goalie, we typically dedicate the initial portion of the session to focus on movement drills, both with and without pucks. This foundation serves as a solid base for refining technique, enhancing agility, and improving overall positioning.
As the session progresses, we gradually introduce increasingly dynamic and complex drills, specifically designed to target and improve the goalie's individual skills and address any weaknesses. This systematic progression ensures comprehensive skill development, while also building confidence and resilience.
Why should you have a goalie coach ?
A goalie coach is essential for goalies at any level of competition. The goaltending position is widely regarded as one of the most challenging in all sports, necessitating the guidance of a coach or mentor who can provide support for both the physical and mental demands of the role. With numerous challenges that can arise throughout a goalie's playing career, having a coach to offer experienced advice and guidance is highly recommended.
Payment and how it works with us
We understand that hockey is an expensive sport, and we take that into consideration with our clients. We are friendly with most forms of payment, and we are open to payment plans or paying in advance options, so that we can help you reach your goaltending goals.
What to expect on your first session?
On the first day, we take a comprehensive and personalized approach, considering the impact of nerves and anxiety on performance. Our aim is to foster a comfortable and harmonious atmosphere between coach and goalie, enabling us to assess current skill levels and identify areas for focused attention.
You have the option to arrive at least 30 minutes early to get dressed, and we will coordinate with you accordingly. Our coaches will meet you beforehand to provide a brief overview of the day's activities. Our utmost priority is to ensure your enjoyment throughout your time on the ice. We are dedicated to delivering exceptional service, creating a safe and supportive environment where you can freely share, learn, and have fun. Your comfort is our primary concern, and we strive to surpass your expectations at every step.
