1 in 4 goalies are dealing with hip/groin pain at any given time. What are you seeing in your athletes? Wrote about it here @TheCoachesSite
Goalies, your hips are more than just joints - they're performance powerhouses. Strengthening them can reduce injury risk and boost agility. Coaches, prioritize hip health for a stronger crease presence. Great article from Physiotherapist @Tscarr4.

This is going to be amazing and very helpful. Well done, @ScottRintoul!
We'll catch up soon... but I've been working on a new project that will debut next month. My new podcast "Better Sports Parents" will feature ex & current pro athletes talking youth sports and offering perspective on how we all can improve the youth sports environment.

STRANGE BUT TRUE: OTD in 1919, Indians pitcher Ray Caldwell was struck by lightning during the 9th inning. He got back up and recorded the final out to finish the game. Unreal.
