About Goalie Coaches
Hi, I’m Tyler.
I’m the guy that started Goalie Coaches.
The original mission of Goalie Coaches has never changed.
To help goalies everywhere get access to the training resources critical to their development.
Since inception, Goalie Coaches has always been about the community in it’s entirety. We’ve been a place for collaboration unlike anything ever before seen in the goaltending world, sharing drills on platforms like our Instagram, Youtube, and Facebook Groups.
Starting in the Summer of 2020, we joined forces with Wyatt Waselenchuk and his brand Accel Goaltending to deliver a series of goalie camps across the United States and Canada. We’re excited to announce that Wyatt has now joined Goalie Coaches to oversee, develop, and execute in person training programs for goalies in the same format.
It is my personal mission that Goalie Coaches dramatically changes the way that goalies develop. We’re unapologetic for trying new things, for constantly making an effort to push the envelope, to help goalies in ways that nobody ever thought possible.
We continue to impact goalies in these two major ways.
Impact #1: growing goalie businesses
We’re very specific with how we serve the goalie through the growth of goalie businesses. If you’re a goalie coach, or want to start a goalie coaching business, we’ve got a library of resources that will help you A) transition to a full time goalie coach or B) expand your goalie coaching business operations.
Impact #2: training material for goalies
Our best content is free. 99.9% of everything we do is free.
Where can I follow Goalie Coaches?
Instagram, Facebook, Facebook Group (Goalie Videos), Facebook Group for Goalie Parents, Tik Tok, Youtube, and Snapchat.
Do you guys have a physical location?
While Goalie Coaches is everywhere, Wyatt Waselenchuk, the Director of GC on ice development and Assistant Coach of the Minot Minotauros, is located in North Dakota. Our camps run throughout the United States and Canada every summer. On top of this, we own a gym specifically for video production and in person training in our goalie training programs.
