For years, GDI has been the most successful academy for hockey goalies in Germany. Various DEL goalkeepers have spawned from the GDI training programs. This is why by now there is a remarkable amount of well-trained German goalkeepers – both technically and tactically. However, the most significant guarantor for constant high performance on a pro level is an outstanding physical education. Only those who are physically able to always push their performance limit, have the ability to play their best game while being under immense mental pressure.
For this reason, GDI has teamed up and shared their expertise with leading athletic experts. GDI and ALLOUT have jointly developed the first program that exclusively targets hockey goalie education. The conditional requirements for goalies differ significantly from field players. To close this gap, we offer you an analysis of your individual performance profile.
Let us show you your full potential in only two days to then optimize it with an individual training plan. On top, we support you with the best preparation and regeneration strategies for both training and competition. We remained loyal to the principle of a self-development concept. All of our goalie athletic camps are tailored to your needs so you can always determine your own future level of athletic self-improvement. The ideal and individual physical preparation for the next season is GDI’s and ALLOUT’s all-time goal.
