Prepare for Your On-Ice Lesson
Parents: Start Here
If you are reading this, text this link to your goalie right now. Tell them to save the 5-minute warmup on their phone so they have it in the locker room. You can also help them out by planning a solid pre-skate meal the night before.
💬 Tap to Text Your GoalieHey there!
I'm excited to get on the ice with you. We want to make the most of our time out there. To do that, you need to show up ready.
I learned this the hard way. I used to skip my warmups and just jump on the ice[. I ended up needing knee surgery at 16 years old. It was a toug pill to swallow! Do not make my dumb mistakes.
1. Eat a Balanced Meal
Eat a solid meal 2 to 3 hours before we skate. You need carbs and protein in your system so you do not gas out halfway through the lesson. If you eat right before you step on the ice, you will probably feel sick.
Fuel Fix: If you need a quick, clean protein fix on the go, I use Enduraphin. Use the code STRIDEFUEL for 10% off here.
2. Hydrate Right
Check your pee before you leave the house. If it is dark yellow, you are already dehydrated. Start drinking water early in the day.
Hydration Fix: Your brain and muscles need fluid to react to shots. If you need electrolytes to stay sharp, I recommend Adapt Nutrition. Use the code Stride15 to get 15% off here.
3. The 5-Minute Goalie Warmup
Goalies put crazy amounts of stress on their hips and groin. You must prep your joints. Take 5 minutes before you put your bottom gear on to do this quick RAMP warmup.
- Leg swings (10 forward, 10 side to side)
- 90/90 hip switches (10 each side)
- Deep lateral lunges (5 each side)
- Walking lunges with a torso twist (10 total)
- Fast high knees (15 seconds)
Control the controllables. Show up ready to work!
