Teaching Philosophy

All goaltenders should be provided with elite coaching and development. That’s why we create a personalized experience for each goalie at each of our events. Our staff has the experience and training to deliver our comprehensive curriculum and cater it to the individual athlete. We know that once a goaltender establishes a strict and distinct base of fundamentals, that they must then have a unique approach to the position. As a goaltending athlete progresses through a career, countless unique experiences and individuals are implanted upon this player’s game. Through these experiences, the goaltender begins to build an approach. This approach combines these experiences with core fundamentals plus the distinct strengths and limitations of the actual netminder. During a GDI USA experience, athletes will seek to hone, refine, and repackage this distinct approach. Why do we take this stance? “Goaltending style is a journey” – Ian Clark, GDI Founder.

We offer mentorship to both male and female goalies throughout the year at all levels of play by hosting National and Regional camps as well as specialty clinics, personal consultation, association partnerships, and more.

 

 

Only by working in the rink, in the gym, and in the mind, can you truly identify your potential and reach your standard of excellence. We aim to seek out the talented and ambitious goaltenders ready to compete at the next level.
