At GDI, we believe that each goaltender has a unique approach to the position. While goaltending encompasses a vast array of technical, physiological and psychological inputs, each goaltender assembles a distinct bundle of performance assets.
When working with a goaltending client, our emphasis is to work within the confines of each client's approach. While there are fundamentals that must be instilled in any approach, and at all levels of play, GDI believes in working within the context of the specific athlete's game.
Why do we take this approach?
Goaltending style is a journey.
As a goaltending athlete progresses through a career, countless unique experiences are implanted upon this player's mind. Through these experiences, the goaltender begins to build an approach. This approach combines these experiences with core fundamentals and the individual's distinct strengths and limitations.
During a GDI Consulting experience, athletes will seek to hone, refine and repackage this distinct approach. A combination of technical enhancements and physiological guidance (where necessary) will, in turn, drive one's psychological game forward. That's right, performance gains require a multi-faceted approach - technical, physiological, psychological - which is a hallmark of GDI and a sure-fire method of fast tracking your game.
At GDI, we are committed to performance enhancement. These enhancements occur within the context of an already established goaltending approach.
