DVD Testimonials

My husband, John, just got your DVD's yesterday. I have to tell you how impressed I am with all of the detailed "science" of goaltending in them. I have listened to Parks ad nauseum courtsey of my son. Your DVD's are amazing!

I am interested in your mini-clinics, specifically a one-day clinic. My son, Matt, will be 25 in May. He still lives and breathes goaltending. If it is something I can afford, I would like to surprise him. Sometime in the fall would probably work well, before the season gets totally started.

Thanks for the info.

Both my sons are goalies and the information presented in the videos is very helpful. Some of the training is a review for them, some of the videos are things they may know but are presented in a new way and a lot of the information are things they have never been exposed to. I would recommend these videos to any goalies.

Thank you very much.

I bougth the DVD set and I can't tell you how satisfied I am.

I am a goaltender but have never been coach in that position, and now that my son is a goaltender I was searching for tricks and drills to learn him what I,m doing by instinct (I'm his coach).

I really appreciate your DVD set and encourage you to do a second one(if it's possible to do better...)

Regards.

I had a chance to watch the entire DVD on Sunday. My opinion is that it is with out a doubt the most comprehensive, well put together, and easiest to understand (for all ages) program that I have seen yet.

I know that you are the type of guy that appreciates honest constructive criticism, but I really couldn't find a single thing that I could be critical of... You have created a training tool that is beyond compare with anything else available. You have, without a doubt, set a new standard in goaltending instruction.

Very well done....

     I just finished watching the Future Pro DVD for the first time. For any New Goalie, I highly recommend it. The DVD is broken down into 18 chapters that are focused on a single aspect of goaltending. This is great because you can watch the section repeatedly without needing to sift through the things you don't want to focus on. Each section is short and to the point, only a few minutes each. At first run it felt like the section went by too fast, didn't cover enough. I realized is that the segments are short, but contain immense amounts of information. The fact that they are short allows you to watch them again and put them not only to memory, but to habit easier.

      It is especially great for kids. The dvd has three different age/size goalies that are very good representations of squirts, bantam, and midget sized goalies. I showed the video to a squirt and it really helped him understand how challenging a shooter makes a small goalie look bigger. It was a concept that he understood in theory, but its completely different seeing a video of a similar sized goalie... especially with puck view camera angle they use at times in the video.

      Which brings me to another point, while the camera work is clearly a few years old, it offers some very compelling view points and perspectives. Seeing the goal and the goalie from the view of the puck helps you to better understand how the puck ‘grows eyes’ and finds those little holes you thought you had closed.

      Back to viewing it as an adult (I'm 26, recently picked up Ice goalie after years of skating out in ice and roller and moonlighting as a goalie in roller/ball), while the video is geared more towards youth, I found this video to be absolutely every bit as good/important/useful for a new adult goalie. I was particularly pleased with the section on coaching. It not only will help me with helping the squirts, but it also gives you as a goalie a good perspective for what a coach should be looking to do with you and get from you.

      The fine print: I am not, in anyway, affiliated with the DVD or anyone who sells the DVD. I am simply an avid hockey nut learning to strap 'em on.
