5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of current goaltending technique, December 7, 1998
By aurand@iserv.net (grand Rapids, Michigan) - See all my reviews
Brian D'accord provides the reader with a thorough description of what it takes to be a successful goaltender, from equipment selection, conditioning, and techniques and drills. As a long time goaltender and goalie coach, i was familiar with a great deal of the material, but for a coach not familiar with the position, or a young player starting out, it is an excellent resource.

The book goes beyond the usual "how to make a glove save, stick save,etc." to cover things like the mental aspects of gaoltending, and how to anticipate where shots are likely to go based on whether the shooter is on their off-wing or short side, for example. good visual images and lots of photo illustrations help to make this a worthwhile read for players and coaches alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know about goaltending!, March 12, 2001
By cjbondra@columbus.rr.com (Columbus, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This is a great book on goaltending. Do not listen to the other reviews that say this book is for begginners. I've read this book many times. It covers flexibility and strength, and everything else you need to know. This is a great tool for figuring out what your doing wrong when your not playing so well. There is no such thing as a goalie that is so advanced that he does not need to read this book. Also, read what Martan Brodeur has to say in his foward at the begginning of this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Every goaltender should read this book, February 25, 1999
By A Customer
This book covers it all, and if you were to seriously follow everything carefully in this book and work it into your game, I would bet your game would improve by at least 30%. The nicely done photographs help a lot too. This book even teaches you how to improve your speed and quickness, and teaches you how to juggle to improve coordination. If you are a goalie novice to elite I would suggest this book very much.
