The second British “born and bred” hockey star that we are proud to be associated with is Belfast Giants and Great Britain netminder
Nathan Craze.
The Nathan Craze Elite Goal Tending, a camp being held at Planet Ice Basingstoke from the 1st to the 5th of August 2011 and open to all ages and abilities.
The game of hockey is constantly changing and the ever improving skills of players means that goalies always need to be one step ahead. A goaltender needs to be technically solid, patient, have the ability to read the play, be quick around the net, and have rebound control, mental toughness and puck control with more and more athletic abilities. With all this in mind the quality of goalie coaching needs to keep pace with the game with better knowledge and understanding of the goal tending position. With a student to coach ratio of 3:1 this will provide additional time and opportunity for practice, understanding and development.
The aim is to provide the best on-ice instruction with top quality drills and shooters, superior off-ice instruction with the benefit of a strength and conditioning coach to improve the fitness and knowledge of each student. Each goalie will have quality guidance on modern up to date tips and techniques to improve all areas of their game and this is where the aim will be to keep ahead of other camps.
Great goal tending does not end with skills and techniques.
What gives a great goalie an edge over a good goalie is mental toughness and each student will have quality instruction over the week on how to improve this during class room lectures as well other parts of the goal tending position. If you have the desire to improve, the ambition to be the best and become a successful goaltender then Nathan Craze Elite Goal tending has everything you need and will help develop your game to its highest level.
