Everest Academy
MENTAL TOUGHNESS TRAINING
The Crease Goaltending Academy
has joined forces with former goalie Peter Papadogiannis to offer goalies proven mental skills training in order to improve their hockey performance. Peter has a Ph.D. in sport psychology and has worked with several professional and Olympic athletes in a consulting capacity. When working with Individual goalies, Peter will utilize some of the most comprehensive and reliable assessment tools available in order to identify key performance areas. Tools such as the Attentional and Interpersonal Style Inventory (TAIS) and the BarOn EQ-i will look into performance areas such as awareness, distractibility, and performance under pressure. Each of these tools allows for a quick and accurate assessment in order to identify areas of both strength and vulnerability in a goaltender's mental game.

After reviewing the assessment results, Peter will develop a customized training program for each individual. The private coaching sessions will build skills in the areas of:
  • Finding your peak performance zone
  • Performance preparation
  • Understanding and managing disruptive emotions
  • Positive imagery and thinking skills
  • Dealing with mental challenges and
  • Goal setting
Goaltenders now can get the benefit of proven mental toughness training at greatly reduced prices because of this exclusive partnership. This now gives The Crease goaltenders just one more advantage over the competition.

OUR MISSION
At THE CREASE GOALTENDING ACADEMY (TCGA) we do not try to change a goalies style, we use a multi dimensional approach to goaltending; consider it a fusion of old school fundamentals combined with new age movements. Our instructors will systematically break down each skill you learn into components and follow this by proper demonstration, proper instruction and repetition. Our unique and innovative style of teaching emphasizes positive reinforce and encouragement in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. After getting down the foundation of goaltending we will examine and develop your strengths and weaknesses, we then will ensure you that we will push your goaltender to reach their peak performance level.
