About the Plan

The Full Goalkeeper Plan is a 4-week program designed for field hockey goalkeepers seeking to maximize performance between the posts. The plan focuses on improving agility, reaction speed, explosive power, and core stability to enhance diving, lateral movement, and overall shot-stopping ability.


Through plyometric exercises, lateral movement drills, core strengthening, and functional power training, goalkeepers develop faster reactions, stronger dives, and better control over landings and recoveries. Emphasis is placed on lower-body strength, balance, and explosive drive to ensure effectiveness throughout high-intensity match situations.


Structured for 4 days per week, this plan integrates seamlessly with in-season training and matches, allowing goalkeepers to improve performance without compromising on-field readiness.


By the end of the program, goalkeepers will feel faster, stronger, and more confident - capable of covering the goal area efficiently and making decisive, game-changing saves.
