Description
The Pre-Season Development program (PSD) is an integrated tactical skill development progression. The focus of this program is Skill Application, where goaltenders will learn how to integrate the skills acquired in the previous phase (OSD) into the complex and multi-dimensional situations that are encountered in games.
The PSD program takes a multi-layered approach, as a method to break down complex tasks into smaller and more manageable ones. Each layer represents a different level of complexity, and they are built upon one another, with each building upon the skills and knowledge gained in the previous one. A layered approach ensures the goalie has a solid understanding of the fundamental technical and tactical inputs that are essential for the situation, before moving on to more advanced reads and anticipations.
EGC bolsters a 2-to-1 goaltending to instructor ratio for all on-ice technical/tactical sessions, ensuring that every student receives ample time in-net to develop and ameliorate their skills. The PSD program consists of 4hrs of on-ice development per week, totalling 24hrs over the 6 weeks, as well as 6 online seminars.
The program focuses on specific areas of the game, and has the following weekly structure:
Week 1-6
1hr (online classroom)
1.5 hrs (static ice-time)
1.5 hrs (dynamic ice-time)
1 hr (movement circuit)
Off the ice, the PSD program offers a physical journal which goalies will use to extend their development beyond the on-ice program. Each goalie will have access to the concepts that will be covered on-ice and are expected to review them. In addition, athletes will have access to their video and will be guided to self-assess to develop their self-awareness and increase their knowledge acquisition from each session. The program also involves web-delivered seminars and conversations for theory-based discussions, and to develop a strong sense of camaraderie within our community.
