GDI offers numerous training and education programs for clubs. We differentiate between two segments:

Pro – Team

Pro training. Here, a specific and individual program for pro goalies is created under the direction of GDI director Benedikt Weichert. The main elements of this program are the analysis of the goalie’s current stage of development as well as the creation of a customized and sustainable training program.

CLUB TRAINING

Our services also include the coordination of the entire goalie training for clubs. Pre-requirement is the participation in the highest performance categories Student League and DNL (or the impending achievement thereof). To maintain the fitness level of the goalie-specific summer training, we’re enriching the ongoing on-ice training with fitness training in the areas of velocity, coordination, strength and mobility.

As an exclusive GDI partner, you benefit from the highest service level our hockey academy has to offer. We guarantee you a comprehensive service package that will push your goalies to their highest level of performance.

Being an exclusive GDI partner also grants you access to the latest training methods and you always have an expert advisor for all questions concerning goalie education by your side. Investments in consistency and sustainability on the goalie position will always be valuable!

However, GDI offers so much more than just professional training. Benefit from our network and fast-growing structures to make your successful club join those with a top-level goalie education. Jointly celebrating wins or coping with defeats emotionalizes, brings people together and nourishes the bonding process within the team. The creation of a team-oriented education concept leads to the development of top performers and leadership personalities.

Below you will find an overview over all our services offered in addition to traditional on-ice and fitness training.

We create a pre analysis of all athletes’ strengths and weaknesses which is based on video footage from the ongoing season.

Creation of a scouting report for recruiting talents and future roster athletes.

Opponent analysis. This analysis reveals weaknesses of opposing goalkeepers and serves as support for a team’s offense. This measure especially gains in significance during ascension and playoff games.

After completing a measure, we create a review report including detailed recommendations for the further development of athletes.

The performance of each goalie will be documented and evaluated with the help of detailed statistical procedures.

In consideration of the results of ongoing evaluations, we create individual exercises for athletes which are specifically aiming towards a performance increase.

We create a training framework conceptualization which is based on the detailed pre analysis. The provided video material helps create a detailed report about strengths and weaknesses including recommendations for an increase in performance.

Execution of a position specific movement training. Improvement of speed and coordination. Position aims will be reached faster and more effectively, leading to a controlled defense.

Singular athletes will be scouted and advised during the team training. In this way, goalies can directly get corrected and implement the advice in their play.

Based on video footage from the ongoing season, an analysis of current strengths and weaknesses of all athletes will be created.  We furthermore evaluate footage from competitions for the fine-tuning of our education and edit it for the athletes.

Focus on the support of young talents

Execution of a position specific movement training. Improvement of speed and coordination. Position aims will be reached faster and more effectively, leading to a controlled defense.

Based on the training frame conceptualization, we create an annual plan for the goalie-specific on-ice training of pre-defined age and performance groups. The planning, execution and monitoring of the latest training measures lies under the responsibility of the club’s GDI goalie coach. The balance between technique and tactics guarantees a high training standard.

Singular athletes will be scouted and advised during the team training. In this way, goalies can directly get corrected and implement the advice in their play.
