Things Not to do to your Goaltender when you're a Coach:

Alright Coaches, please, for one moment, let's put our ego's away and admit the fact we're generally not experts when it comes to goaltending. If you are, great. If not, that's ok; generally speaking, most coaches have not had the training to evaluate goaltenders properly or know how to use them in an effective manner. Below are some tips on how to get the most out of your tender and the bets results for your team.

1) Don't forget about your goalie:
Practices are mostly for players but set up drills and emphasize proper timing between shots. It does the goaltender no good getting shots at same time or right after. It also doesn't help the shooter when he's shooting on an open net. Coaches, be aware and time accordingly so everyone gets better. This is the very common.

2) Do Not Create Un Needed Competion Between The Goalies: 
First off, let me explain. Many coaches pit each goalie against each other usually stating that "the goalie who wins will keep playing" or something along that line. What happens frequently is the goalie end up disliking or cheering against his own team for the betterment of himself. This doesn't help anyone out. Create a form where the goalies support each other and state that it's NOT a competition and goalies work together and support each other. This will eliminate any unneeded divide in the room where some players are closer to one goalie or the other. This will create a closer team and one less headache you will have to worry about.

Thanks for considering these two tips and stay tuned for tips 3 & 4 coming shortly.
