“Mobility is a very important physical factor for a goalie. For the first time in my career, I feel that dry training immediately transfers to ice training. After training with the old methods, after the summer season, when I went on the ice, my joints would hurt, but now it’s not like that. Now that I’ve done Jouni Viitanen’s strength stretching and other stretching models, I’m more flexible, stronger and faster in the movements needed for making saves. I feel that my additional training is exactly what takes my saves forward.”

“One of the cornerstones of my game is skating. By doing mobility through strength, I gain strength for a wide range of motion, which helps me skate effortlessly and react to unexpected situations. Jouni and I don't spend a lot of time on separate stretching, but the whole thing is built so that stretching is included in everyday training in many ways.”
