Wills
US Goaltender | NCAA DIII
Overview
Wills, a dedicated and driven goaltender, is entering his freshman year at a NCAA Division III program. With a new level of competition ahead and no guarantees of playing time, Wills recognized the importance of preparing beyond the ice — physically, mentally, and structurally. Our focus has been on building the lifestyle, habits, and expectations required to thrive as a collegiate athlete and compete for a role from day one.
Scope of Work
Our work together has emphasized proactive preparation in three key areas:
Collegiate Routine & Mindset
We worked together to map out the day-to-day expectations of a student-athlete — from class schedules and practice demands to recovery, nutrition, and time management. This gave Wills a realistic picture of what’s ahead and allowed him to begin building those habits now.
Customized Off-Season Training Program
We designed a gym program modeled after collegiate-level lifts, with an emphasis on compound strength, movement quality, and goalie-specific development. Every aspect was tailored to address his needs — including modifications for previous impingements and a focus on strengthening key areas like hips, core, and lateral explosiveness.
Position-Specific Development
While strength and structure were key, we never lost sight of the demands of the position. Training sessions were supplemented with goaltending-specific mobility, coordination, and balance work to support technical execution in the crease.
Ready for the Next Level
Wills enters college not just with potential, but with preparation. He’s built a strong foundation — one that reflects the reality of college hockey and the effort required to earn and maintain a role at that level. Our work this off-season is positioning him to compete with confidence, consistency, and a professional approach.
Looking Ahead
Wills will begin his NCAA career this fall, stepping into a new environment with the tools, structure, and mindset necessary to succeed. As he navigates the challenges of his freshman year — from earning ice time to managing the off-ice grind — he does so with a full understanding of what it takes, and the work behind it.
