Welcome to our what’s in the bag series!
What’s up my friends! Jeremy Weiss here with Weiss Tech Hockey, and welcome back to our “What’s in the Bag?” series. This is where I’m going through my Weiss Tech Essentials and showing you all the tools that I use as a coach with my own teams.
This series is on-going… so click the link below for the full Table of Contents.
In this video I want to show you a tool I’ve kept in my bag for years… Extra shooting targets! But not just any targets… these ones specifically. Mine are from HockeyShot, but that’s not the only place you can get them.
Here’s a great deal I found on Amazon:
Extreme Goal Targets – Installed in Seconds – Fits Any Regulation Size Net
- HELP YOU TO SCORE MORE GOALS – these smart hockey training aids will help you to improve your shooting precision
- PRACTICE LIKE THE PROS – these innovative premium hockey goal targets are used by more than 100 players in the NHL
- LET YOU TRY MULTIPLE ANGLES – it comes in a set of three targets so you can create drills that will improve your accuracy
- MADE FROM THE HIGHEST QUALITY – extremely durable lightweight material. After hitting the targets they return to their original position
- FITS ANY REGULATION SIZE HOCKEY NET – easy to install in seconds. The goal in the pictures is not included
Disclosure: Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. This means that, at zero cost to you, I will earn an affiliate commission if you click through the link and finalize a purchase.
Why I keep these ones in my bag always:
- FOLDABLE AND SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT – This is huge! You want to have options incase a goalie can’t make it to practice, but you don’t want to be overloaded with heavy gear you only use once in a while. These sit flat in your bag, taking up almost no space, and are extremely lightweight.
- DURABLE MATERIAL – Despite being lightweight, these are very well-made. The targets are canvas, which can withstand even the hardest slap shots, and they’re fitted onto a bungee cord that reaches from one post to the other. Simple, but effective design!
- VARIETY BUILT IN – You can slide the targets to whatever position you want. Hang them high or low, or even at a diagonal.
Most of the time my goalies are stellar… but in the odd situation where one no-shows, you want to be prepared. Missing a player in practice is no big deal… missing a goalie makes for a lame practice!
These targets will save the day if and when you’re goalie has to miss practice!
Again, go to Table of Contents page for this series, and you’ll see all the other products… Everything that is in my very own coaching bag. By the end of this you’ll have seen everything I use in my coaching, and the reasons why I’m using each item.
Hope it helps! See you in the next video!
