Introducing Michael "Goaltending the Evolution"

Michael A. LoCicero

Michael has been involved with Hockey his entire life. Elite Goaltender Training has been his on-going passion for decades. He has studied the position from all angles developing hybrid programs and enjoyed personal success as both a goaltender playing in Toronto and Europe. As most in his 60’s, 70’s and 80’s Michael is self taught, luckily for him he is very analytical. His originality is very evident in his Olympic approach to teaching. He has always welcomed challenge in regards to what he teaches based on the principals he uses throughout his program. Logic, Common Sense, Math and Science are the foundations of his teaching. The philosophy behind Michael’s method is an Olympic approach. Every participant in the Olympics is striving for their best technical and artistic marks. To do this you must understand what to do mentally and physically. Understanding What to do, When to it, Where and How to are the principals to developing “Intelligent Thinking Goaltenders”. The Method Michael has designed strives to minimize Wasted Movement and Wasted Energy simplifying your game. Nothing is left to the imagination!!!
The website www.goaltendingtheevolution.com will be creating a resource website for all goaltenders eager to learn. There will be various content and features, interactive and always informative. The Website is designed from the bottom up to give any goaltender resources, information and direction for their training.

All this and lots to be released soon. The Goaltending The Evolution website will be the #1 resource world wide for all things “Goalie”.
There is nothing trendy about “Goaltending The Evolution’s” training Methods or Training Systems. Everything is broken down step by step. The Four Principal Categories addressed are “Mind Set, Mobility, Net Orientation, and Form”. We develop intelligent, thinking goalies that understand the elements and layers of the position that other Goaltending Schools and Clinics Do not understand YET!

This is achieved through the M.E.T Principals: Movement, Energy and Time. V.M.P Relationship Visual, Mental and Physical relationships. A Line System designed to Maximize Coverage and Minimize Wastes.

Put Simply, The Conservation of Movement and Energy saves Time. The System puts focus on athleticism, mindset, mobility and Most Importantly, form, net and crease awareness. A full range of effective practice techniques, mental conditioning and positional awareness makes our goalies technically versatile and consistent in performance.
