@Revomad1 good point - with any type of flexibility training - consistency is the key!

@revolutioncondition I didn't get a chance to try these out too much yet, but I spent quite a bit of time on the ITB stretch over the past 2 days and that really helped relax my hips and take some stress off of my weak/slightly damaged left hip flexor. I definitely need to work these stretches into a regular routine though.

@revolutioncondition Thanks for the tip. I will give that a try tonight to help prepare for my game tomorrow.

@Revomad1 - glad to help you out. On that one stretch that gives you trouble, start with your knees a little farther apart. This one is key if you are going to play butterfly!
Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Maria

I'm glad I stumbled on your channel! I am a 32 year old goalie and maintaining hip mobility has become an increasingly difficult area for me over the past few years. I have some stretching to do! The one where you are on your belly with your legs bent at a 90* angle is a problem for me. When my feet are tight together, I can't get my knees together, let alone separate my feet! lol
EXCELLENT video! Not only am I a goalie, but I'm also a personal trainer myself, so I found the information useful on two counts. Thanks for the tips, Maria!

I need some advice! I'm an 11 year old goalie and I'm trying to become more flexible. I just recently became a goalie so I'm not sure what important stretches I should be doing. Also I'm trying to learn to do the splits. I know it is a big thing that won't happen overnight but is there anything you could suggest that could help me reach this goal?

@hockeyjock18 - I have a couple pieces of advice for you. The first one (and you mentioned it already) is to be patient. You are growing, so you will go through phases where you will be tight (because our bones grow longer first, then our muscles catch up) - you cannot force your flexibility, just find a consistent routine that you can do 5 times per week - even if it is just 15-20 minutes. Finally, check out my video "Top three ways for hockey goalies to improve hip flexibility" - foam roll!
