The DIY Goalie Podcast presented by True North Goaltending

What should you do when something just isn't working during a game? In Episode 133 of The DIY Goalie Podcast, Connor discusses how goalies can recognize problems, make adjustments, and avoid getting caught up in overthinking their performance. Whether you're struggling with rebound control, uncomfortable with your equipment, or simply not feeling quite right on the ice, sometimes the best solution is to simplify your approach and trust your fundamentals. Connor also brings back our Drill of the Month segment, featuring the Tip Diamond! We break down how this drill can help goalies improve their recoveries, manage traffic, and prepare for second opportunities.

Making the first save is important, but what happens to the puck afterward can be just as important! In this episode of The DIY Goalie Podcast, Nathan discusses rebound control and puck management, including how goalies can think beyond simply stopping the initial shot. From directing rebounds into safer areas to preparing for the next play, we explore why making a save isn't always the end of the job. We also have a quick update about the future release schedule of The DIY Goalie Podcast! Looking for more goalie development resources?
