FACT: You can have a wider butterfly flare and get lower into your splits.  You just need to know the techniques that will make your flexibility training pay off on the ice.  Hint: stretching on its own is not enough.

FACT: Improving your leg strength is the simplest way to improve your speed on the ice.  You will discover new exercises to build the strength goalies need to maximize their effectiveness and efficiency.

FACT: If your stabilizers are weak, you will not be able to realize your potential on the ice.  If you cannot tell me what exercises you use to train your hip stabilizers, you need some help.

FACT: Most goalies are still taking the completely wrong approach to their stamina training.  If you have done a 45-minute run for cardio training in the last 3-months, you are not only making yourself slower, but also less agile.

Dear Dedicated Goalie,

I want to be very clear right off the top here because I do not want you wasting your money or my time.  This program is not for goalies who want to be a bit better.  Nor is it for goalies who want to be much better, but do not have the time or the dedication to commit to a pro-style training program.

I have created other programs for those goalies and they have great success with them.  This program is different.

I know there a lot goalies out there who have the desire to play at the highest level that they are able to achieve.  For less than 1% of you that will mean playing professional hockey one day.  For others it will mean becoming the go-to goalie as your team finally wins the league championship.

Here’s where you have been mislead.  You have been told that you can achieve anything if you ‘want it bad enough‘.  Listen, lot’s of people WANT it, I am here to tell you that desire is the least important ingredient for success.  Wanna know what the two most important ingredients are?

You know that I always tell you the truth, so here is a dose that you may not want to hear…If you are not prepared to do the work (yes, it does take effort and energy and sweat to become a great goalie) then please, please stop reading right now – you are wasting your time.

If you are still with me and you are prepared to invest the time and effort necessary to achieve your goals and live your dreams, then I want to invite you to join me on a little journey.  I have made the point (quite clearly I hope) that this journey will not be easy, but it IS dead simple.

There are fool proof steps that you need to take to become the best you can be.  Let’s face it, if you had the natural talent of the NHL All Star who says he never workouts out then you would be in the show raking in a few million a year – I am guessing that is not you, so you my friend will have to climb the ladder.  Step-by-step until you get to the top.  Welcome to the Ultimate Goalie Training VIP Coaching Program.

Sincerely committed to your success,

This is the latest revision of the uber successful Ultimate Goalie Training 2.0 system.  When I surveyed my list of goalies asking for ways I could make the program better, over 37% of you said, don’t do anything, it is good enough the way it is.

Sorry, but ‘good enough’ is never what I am going for.  Just like you, I want to be great at what I do and just like you I am prepared to put in the hard work to make that happen.

So I looked at what people said when they asked for a refund – yes, I do get refund requests, my refund rate sits around 0.96% which in the information marketing world is outstanding – they tell you not to worry until you are up around 20% – but for me, even that less than 1% rate irks me.

Anyway, the two most common reasons for a refund request were:

1. The program is too hard for me, I am not looking for something that intense.
2. I intended to do the program, but it has just been sitting on my computer for the last few months and I have not even started any of the training yet.

So I was faced with a decision to dumb down the program and sell more copies OR I could find a way to help you get started and keep you going by harnessing the MOMENTUM OF ACTION.

I have other programs that are less intense and this franchise has always been my top level pro-style program, so it was never an option to make it easier.  So I set out to help foster the Momentum of Action.

The Momentum of Action is a phenomenon I discovered, it describes how taking action leads to results which in turn motivates you take even more action.  Let me give you a real world example.

Meet Mark (that’s not his real name).  When I met Mark he had missed the play-offs with a groin strain the previous season.  He kept up with his on-ice goalie training over the off-season, but admittedly neglected his off-ice training because he did not want to put more stress on his groin.  Mark did not realize that a proper goalie specific off-ice program would help him virtually banish the frustration of his groin injury.

Anyway, the fact that he missed the play-offs in-turn affected his chances to make the team he was trying out for the next season.  You see, the ‘back up’ got a shot to take the team deep into the play-offs and did an outstanding job.  He immediately went to the top of the depth chart for the next season.  To make matters worse there was the other goalie who had been working like crazy on everything, getting better on the ice, doing off-ice training, studying other goalies – coaches (and parents) were starting to talk about him.  Mark was getting worried – he told me the kid even had a six pack – not that it really matters, but it just seemed to make things worse in Mark’s opinion.

So when the tryouts rolled around Mark felt he had to play even though he always felt tight in that left groin and he routinely felt a ‘tweak’ in it (he actually thought this was just normal).  Mark stretched regularly at home and had started doing some strengthening exercises that he had found online (that is how he found me).

When Mark emailed me to tell me his story, what struck me was that he had started doing almost everything right.  We included a few cutting edge techniques like myofascial release and some specific stretching protocols that I created just for goalies.  After a few weeks Mark felt the tightness decrease.  He still felt a bit tight after the game and the next morning, but he did not feel it while he was on the ice and there were no more ‘tweaks’.

With the improvement in his mobility and performance on the ice, Mark saw what a difference even a small change could make in only two-weeks.  This reward motivated him to take more action and include some specific strength training exercises – in a few weeks he was moving better and quicker in the crease.  This improvement motivated him to take more action and incorporate some speed and agility training, which again paid off in performance. This is the MOMENTUM OF ACTION.

What is really cool about Mark’s story (and I have seen it time and time again in my 19+ years in the business) is how Mark not only commented on his flexibility, speed and stamina, but he talked about his confidence, about a feeling that he could give his team a chance to win every single game.  Mark felt like he could stop any shooter.

Instead of sitting in the dressing room before the games worrying about getting pulled or tweaking his groin, he was excited and focused as he completed his dynamic warm-up that had become part of his routine.  He said playing hockey was ‘fun’ again.  Let’s face it, if you are not having fun, then why bother?

How great does it feel to backstop your team to a 1-0 victory.  How great does it feel when there are only 12 seconds left on the clock when the sniper on the other team carves around your D and comes in for a breakaway.  He shoots low glove side and you kick your leg way out to make the stop – even you think ‘how did I do that?’  You new found flexibility helped you earn that shutout…this would motivate you to keep going right?.  See how that works?  The key ingredient is taking the first step.

I seriously do not want this to be another one of those training programs that you never do for more than two weeks.  I want you to complete it from start to finish and reap the rewards.

So not only will I tell you exactly what you need to do, I am going to help you stay on track.  Having been in this business for almost 20 years, I know that some of you will still choose to slack off and you won’t see the results – I can’t force you to do it, but for those of you who are seriously dedicated, experience tells me that once you take that first step, you will be unstoppable.

I use the tips not only to improve my shop league game buti use the tips when coaching the goalies on both of my kids teams. I feel like it helps me stay current and relevant. Not only do I gain the respect of my goalies but the trust of their parents as well! Thanks so much for all your help! Bryan Hemphill Waterloo, OntarioMaria Mountain continues to shine as one of the best and brightest additions to the goalie community in regards to fitness, injury prevention and nutrition. I have been working with Maria for many years and being an adult beer league goalie she continues to help me strive to meet my personal fitness goals. All of her programs are easily compatible with a straight beginner all the way up to the pro-level. That’s what make them so perfect and affordable. We aren’t the ones who have a personal trainer, free gym time and a nutritionist on staff. We get up for work the same as everyone else, except we play in net (usually late at night) multiple times a week. These are the people it’s helping the most, the everyday people, like you and me. I continue to follow Maria and ask for her advice and follow her advice on my fitness needs. Keep up the good work! Jonny Martinez Bay AreaYou have made me a stronger and quicker goalie. Matt Henwood Comox BC

 

For the first time, I had goalie specific workouts that made a real difference to my speed and movement across the crease. After being forced to do the same warm up as the players for years, I know the goalie specific warmup actually had a massive impact as well. I have a very busy work and sport schedule so I only used the workouts a few times per week, rather than following the plan religiously. But what a difference! This year I was goalie of the tournament at the Women’s New Zealand National Championships. Thank you.

Last Spring my knees hurt so bad I could barely walk when I got up in the morning. A massage therapist told me that it was due to tight hip flexors and IT bands. In August I heard about Maria’s programs and started the 14 day flexibility challenge. Just from incorporating that into my daily routine, my knees have been 100%! Thanks Maria! Jodi, Calgary

By following UGT I have seen improvements in my flexibility and no longer have hip pain in the hours following a game. This has led to greater stamina and performance in games and practices – I’m not as tired or tight. Thanks Maria! Elaine Roswell, London ON

What would you pay for a guaranteed six month blueprint to more victories and fewer injuries.  Well, the athletes who train with me four days per week in the Revolution Gym pay between upwards of $10,000 per 16-week off-season, but don’t worry, I wouldn’t dream of charging you anything close to that.  What I am trying to do is give you the same style of training they get at a fraction of the price.  You will get:

LET’S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT EVERYTHING YOU GET…

TOTAL VALUE FOR ALL MODULES… $949, BUT YOU ARE GETTING IT FOR LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE OF A STICK EACH MONTH

Limited enrollment in this program…

Since I released the UGT VIP Coaching Program in January 2013 it has gone well – it is about as much work as I thought it would be, which is quite a bit, but I had feared that it would be 3-times as much work as I expected, so I am pleasantly surprised.  Having said that, I am still going to limit the enrollment.

The UGT VIP Will Be Open For Enrollment For The Next Week OR Until 30 New Members Have Joined.  Then The Doors Will Be Shut For Another 2-4 Months.

So once the 30th goalie has joined the VIP Coaching Group, I will close the doors on the program and you will not be able to access any of the information – even if you email me to say pretty, pretty PLEASE!  My training systems have helped countless goalies, just like you transform your game – I guarantee it will work, so why not take a chance on success?

Still not convinced?

Actually, I think that is a good thing, I am careful with my money too. I want to get the most value possible and I want a rock solid guarantee. So I have already offered you $949 worth of goalie specific off-ice training for only six installments of $49.

I have given you my rock solid 100% money back 60-Day guarantee. Note there there is no fine print on this page, what that means is that if, within 60-days of your payment, you are not 100% thrilled with your purchase, you get ALL OF YOUR MONEY BACK! Is that clear enough

Okay, let me sweeten the deal a little more. Here are a couple more modules that I was thinking of selling as stand alone products (and I still might do that). I am happy to give them to you for free and you can let me know what you think of them.

PS – Please remember that this program will only be available for the next 30 goalies to register.  Once we have 30 goalies, the door will be shut for another 2-4 months.
