  • Big fan of these two writers

    I’m a big fan of both writers and a subscriber to both of their substacks, however, Sean’s delivery and audio needs work. The background noise from the rink just about ruined E2.

Bonus Episode - MSU's Will Morlock on Team USA, Specialized Strength Training, and World Cup Goalkeeping
Q: What does the Friday-to-Saturday transition look like in your off-ice plan after a Friday win?

Bonus Episode - MSU's Will Morlock on Team USA, Specialized Strength Training, and World Cup Goalkeeping
Q: How do you differentiate training for goalies versus skaters, particularly in terms of exercise selection and load?
He explains that goalie programs require less overall volume, more hip-focused work, and a dynamic, fast upper body emphasis, plus targeted power and speed work to support on-ice demands.
Bonus Episode - MSU's Will Morlock on Team USA, Specialized Strength Training, and World Cup Goalkeeping
Q: As a former goalkeeper, what has been one of your favorite World Cup goalkeepers to watch this year?
Will Morlock notes Tim Howard as an influence and comments on standout performances like the Paraguayan goalkeeper's upset of Germany, while recognizing the ongoing excellence of veterans like Neuer and the excitement around emerging talents.
Bonus Episode - NHLPA Agent Allain Roy on Prepping for the Draft, Contract Negotiations with GMs, and the Dream NHL Client
Q: How do you balance pushing for value with keeping a player's long-term career path intact?
Use comparables and performance history to justify numbers, remain realistic, and avoid overreaching to prevent undermining trust with GMs or harming future opportunities.
Bonus Episode - NHLPA Agent Allain Roy on Prepping for the Draft, Contract Negotiations with GMs, and the Dream NHL Client
Q: What tip of advice do you give players before Friday and Saturday roll around?
Start the process early with a structured camp and dry runs to reduce nerves, focus on authenticity in interviews, and ensure the player understands their value and fits a team's needs.
