## Resource

The guys dive into the November slump, gamifying training to stay motivated, and why too many goalies are afraid of getting scored on. They revisit the stick save debate, celebrate the most important goalie drill of all time (one puck), and rant about weak glutes, soft mindsets, and parents emailing refund requests. They also cover how a single visit to a vision specialist fixed a year-long glove-side issue—and why it’s time to trust your goalie coach (especially when they send you elsewhere).
