Coaching Goalies – Difficult, Yet Rewarding
By Clint Jhonson
Undoubtedly, the goal crease is not the most comfortable spot in the hockey rink. But it is the goaltender’s job to defend, at all costs, the net and the crease during the game. The way from the novice goalie to the competent, polished goaltender is not an easy one. This is why coaching goalies is a job as challenging – if not even more challenging – as the task that each netminder undertakes during each game. Both the coach and the trainee need patience to overcome the physical and mental challenges of goaltending.
The goalie must never neglect the puck during a game. In fact, the goaltender has control over the puck more than any other player in the game. It is this kind of control that comes accompanied with responsibility. It is often said the fate of the team depends upon the goalie, and more importantly how mentally tough he is.
While coaching goalies, it would be hard to over-emphasize the need for unwavering focus on the puck. It is at these times of complete focus goalies are able to make that unbelievable save which actually influences in a positive manner the whole team. How many times have you seen a goalie rob a shooter and then have his team go down the ice and score.
On the flip side, when save is not made, a different kind of mental training is required. The goalie needs to bounce back quickly and the team needs to have the confidence that their goalie will bounce back. A great goaltender needs to know how to instantly re-focus on the task at hand. What is past is past. With as little as one session with

a mental training coach, young goalies can learn these focusing techniques. Because of the pivotal influence the netminder can bear upon the rest of the team, is why, when coaching goalies, a great focus is placed on the psychological. If the man in the goal crease is idle or seems to have given up hope on the game, it is very likely that the rest of the team will grow discouraged in turn. On the other hand, if the goaltender is energetic and always keeping a keen eye on the puck, this will inspire their team. A confident goalie leads to a confident team, but when a team has doubts about their goaltending, you will see a team that is heading for trouble. Coaching goalies is a job that will have to consider such psychological dimensions as well. This is why trainers, when coaching goalies, will not focus on the physical efforts exclusively. The goaltenders need to be taught the supplementary benefits that a mental control of the game could bring not only for the goalie, but also to the overall performance of the entire team. Of course, the physical side of the game is of great importance to goalies, but it is surprising how often the mental side is ignored. This is a shame, not only because the mental side of the game is so important but because mental training can be done anywhere at anytime. A goalie can work on his game everyday, not just at practice. In the end, it takes quite some experience and a certain measure of talent for a goaltender to consistently make spectacular saves similar to those we sometimes witness in the NHL. However, if coaches begin to introduce their young goalies to this type of training, the goaltenders will learn to focus all of their mind and body on the game. It is a job that requires complete fusion with the game and with the team. Coaching goalies may not be the easiest job, but can be very rewarding when done right. Every novice goalie needs to learn the secrets of the profession and it is for the best to discover them with the help of an expert.

Online University Design
An online university is a web site that provides a complete "one-stop shop" for all your employees' training
needs. By logging into an online university, your employees obtain information about newly released training
programs, guidance on the programs that are appropriate for them, registration services for both online and
classroom courses, and immediate access to their training records.
Online universities are not the exclusive province of large corporations. Small and midsize firms that do not
have their own private networks can provide online university services to their employees using an ASP
(Application Solution Provider) model. Many of the key features of online universities are now offered by a
national and international suppliers on an outsourced basis.
How to Teach Adult Learners
Many aspects of teaching adults are fundamentally different than those employed in teaching children.
Andragogy is a word popularized at the end of the twentieth century to describe the difference. This article
by D. Verne Morland, managing partner of ROI Learning Services, highlights the important principles in
teaching adults and suggests how they can be applied to business training.
How to Write Instructional Articles
Instructional articles are very different from articles in reference manuals, product brochures, or even
professional literature. This article by Herbert L. Bivens, chief learning officer of ROI Learning Services,
defines instructional articles and describes how to write them.
Put Earn in Your Learning
Many companies view training as a component of their employee benefits package - an expense to be controlled,
not an investment to be maximized. This attitude is dangerously outdated. Survival in today's global economy
requires continuous, cost-effective, world-class training. This article by D. Verne Morland, managing partner
of ROI Learning Services, explains how to identify the "earn" in learning and measure the results
as you would with any other business investment.
Online and Blended Course Development
Online courses are self-contained, independent-study programs delivered via the worldwide web. They may be
relatively simple and short, delivering a little knowledge when and where it is needed. Or they may be
sophisticated, multimedia learning experiences that engage students for many hours over several sittings.
Online courses are primarily useful for conveying new information; they are less effective in conveying and
rehearsing new skills and in motivating students to apply their new knowledge.
Blended courses use a combination or blend of instructional methods and delivery technologies to convey
information, skills, and motivation to students. Blended courses offer almost all of the same instructional
methods and benefits as classroom courses, but with the distinct benefit of being delivered virtually.
ROI Learning Services has the expertise to identify which type of course is best for your company's
learning needs and we can deliver high quality programs that will have a measurable impact on your
business results.
Designing Online Courses for Adult Learners
At most schools of education aspiring teachers are taught the elements of pedagogy – the art and science
of teaching children. Many aspects of teaching adults are fundamentally different than those employed in
teaching children and for this reason a new word gained currency in the late 20th century – andragogy. This
article highlights the important principles in teaching adults and suggests teaching strategies to support
these principles in online courses for higher education and corporate learning programs.
ROI Learning Scorecard [tm]
The ROI Learning Scorecard [tm] is based on the Balanced Scorecard concept created in 1992 by Dr. Robert S.
Kaplan and Dr. David P. Norton. Having a balanced scorecard requires you to plan, manage, and measure your
organization from four perspectives: 1) The Learning and Growth Perspective, 2) The Business Process
Perspective, 3) The Customer Perspective, and 4) The Financial Perspective. This philosophy is consistent
with ROI Learning's holistic approach to training and organization development. By using our ROI
Learning Scorecard your company will focus on and invest in the right programs to build and nurture a
continuous learning organization.
Education Consulting
Survival in today's global economy requires world-class performance. World-class performance requires continuous,
cost-effective, world-class learning. The consulting and course development services provided by ROI Learning
enable businesses in all industries to achieve world-class learning results while maximize the return on their
learning investments.
How to Save Money on Training
Significant cost savings can be achieved by using technology to deliver training outside the traditional
classroom. This article illustrates the component costs of a hypothetical two-day classroom course delivered
to 20 students ten times a year and explains the significant reduction in training costs that can be achieved
by using a "blended" delivery approach.
How to Use Training to Improve Your Business Results
Training your employees is an investment in your business and like any smart investment it should have a
good rate of return. Although training is not the solution to every problem, where it fits it can improve
your sales and sales productivity; it can lower your costs and improve your gross margin; and it can bring
expenses into line and increase your profitability. This article explains that by investing in the right
programs managers will clearly see the business results and will, at the same time, be creating a highly
competitive, continuous learning organization.
List of Services

the experience to help you accomplish all of your training objectives. We can help you: analyze your
training needs, start a training program, reduce your training costs, increase your training effectiveness,

strategy, tactics, programs, and success measures.
