"The definitive guide to goaltending"--Cover.

"Goaltending excellence requires practice, consistency, and understanding - of the position, the situation, and your talents. No one knows this better than Eli Wilson. Recognized as a leading authority on goaltending, he has worked alongside 26 NHL goaltenders, including Carey Price, Ray Emery, Tuukka Rask, and Brian Elliott. Eli Wilson and Brian van Vliet have created the definitive guide to stopping more pucks, winning more games, and lowering your goals against average. Coverage on every facet of the position: Selection of the right equipment for fit and functionality. Stance and presence in the net, including footwork, stick placement, and body positioning. Stopping the puck, from butterfly to glove saves. Postsave recovery strategies, including controlling and directing rebounds. Tactics for breakaways, odd-man rushes, and wraparounds. Focus and visualization methods to improve the mental game. On- and off-ice drills and training programs for year-round conditioning to increase strength, stamina, speed, and agility. From skills to strategies, equipment to exercises, this book covers the position like no other. Packed with drills, step-by-step instructions, photos, diagrams, and coaching tips, it touches on every aspect of the game so you can compete at the highest level"--Provided by publisher.
