Goalcrease STAUBAR: How It Works

Doing it right repeatedly...it's not a new concept.

What's the 'right technique' for a goalie? It's widely accepted that no matter what style a goalie uses, the more they put of themselves, and their equipment, in front of the shot the higher the odds are that the goalie will make the save. And, that's just what the Staubar Trainer accomplishes...it puts more of the goalie in front of the shot...which ultimately creates "high percentage" goalies.

Staubar Trainer forces goalies into the habit of moving everything they've got squarely in front of the shotSpecifically, the Staubar Trainer is designed to "force" goalies into the habit of moving everything they've got squarely in front of the shot. In fact, the Staubar makes it anatomically impossible for the goalie to move any other way. It's simple, when wearing the Staubar in practice, the goalie can't repeat improper technique, get lazy, or rely on their athleticism to flick out a glove or blocker.

The Staubar Trainer trains good sound habits and technique... eventually making it comfortable and reflexive to move the entire body squarely toward the puck. By regularly incorporating the Staubar into practice sessions, proper technique becomes a reflex that proceeds without control of the goalie’s conscious brain. It becomes a reflex that just begins to 'feel right'.

Putting nerve cells in the spinal cord and receptors in the muscles on autopilot.

Training with the Staubar creates a chain reaction of energy efficient kinetic movements. Movements which 'feel right' and put a goalie in the best possible position to stop the puck. This how the Staubar Trainer works:

INITIATION: When wearing the Staubar, the goalie must initiate every move from the inside edges of their skates.

DRIVE: Pushing off the inside edges forces the knees to bend and drives the legs toward the puck.

SQUARE: The leg drive forces the goalie's body and shoulders to move square to the puck and the Staubar forces the goalie's hands into positions squarely in front of the body.

POSITION: When body and equipment are square to the puck—with the hands squarely in front of the body—the goalie is in the best "high percentage" position to cover more net and block more pucks.

HANDS: Because the Staubar forces the hands in front of the body, the goalie is cutting down shooting angles. Plus, the hands are in position to poke-check, react to tipped shots and control rebounds.

BALANCE: With a square stance and hands in front, the goalie is balanced and ready to make the initial save, as well as, prepared to move in any direction to cover a rebound.

MEMORY: Muscles have memory. And muscle memory gets stronger through repetition. That's why training with the Staubar regularly, turns proper technique into reflexive habit.
