We believe a positive environment nurtures learning . . . we believe in quality over quantity . . . we believe personalized attention is the best way to take into account each student's learning style and playing style.

Goalcrease trainers are trained to identify and respect your individual playing style, to build on your strengths, and to eliminate your weaknesses.

On the ice, your instructor will be constantly teaching, demonstrating, reinforcing personal strengths, and constructively correcting mistakes as soon as they're spotted. There's no shot quota at the Goalcrease Training Center. We want every save to be a good save which means we're patient and skilled at correcting problems. In your video sessions, the training tips and corrections from the preceding ice session will be reviewed and reinforced. Slow motion/stop action is frequently used to break down every movement so that students can see bad habits being broken and good habits developing.

Overall, every certified Goalcrease trainer is carefully and thoughtfully taught to achieve specific training goals:

• Create a positive learning environment
• Treat each student respectfully and individually
• Expect respectful behavior from each student
• Accommodate and teach different styles of goalkeeping
• Enhance and reinforce each goalie's individual strengths.
• Focus on the basic fundamentals of goalkeeping
• Repeat those basic fundamentals
• Provide immediate correction – constructively
• Turn the basic fundamentals into habit
• Turn hockey lessons into life's lessons when applicable and/or appropriate
