Coach Messy is a dedicated and passionate goalie coach based in Fort Worth, Texas, offering one-on-one and small-group training at the Nytex Sports Complex. With years of experience both in the crease and behind the whistle, Coach Messy focuses on developing technically sound, mentally tough, and game-ready goaltenders at all levels. Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen elite-level skills, his personalized approach ensures each goalie gets the attention and structure they need to grow.
Throughout his development as a goaltender and coach, Coach Messy has been fortunate to learn from some of the top minds in the position. He’s trained under Ian Clark (Vancouver Canucks), Cam MacDonald (Iserlohn Roosters – DEL), and Thomas Speer (San Jose Sharks). These world-class mentors helped shape not only his technical expertise but also his ability to teach with clarity and purpose. Their influence is reflected in every session he runs—structured, intentional, and built on methods used by goalies at the highest levels.
Coach Messy is known for his high‑energy, positive coaching style that creates a supportive yet challenging environment. He breaks down complex techniques into simple, actionable steps, helping goalies of all levels understand the why behind the how. Each session emphasizes skating fundamentals, positioning, tracking, and puck management while also building confidence, mental toughness, and situational awareness. His mission is simple: to help every goalie become the most complete version of themselves, on and off the ice.
In addition to coaching, Coach Messy is one of the founders of Two Goalies, a brand and community built to unite and inspire goaltenders of all levels through collaboration, events, and content. He plays a key role in organizing the Lightning Rod Energy Goalie Content Creator Game, a one-of-a-kind event that brings together top goalie creators from across North America. Through Two Goalies, he continues to grow the goalie community both online and in person.
Outside the crease, Coach Messy also creates content through his “Mic’d Up Messy” brand, capturing the humor, heart, and grit of the goaltending lifestyle. While his content and coaching remain separate, they both reflect the same passion: helping goalies become better athletes, stronger teammates, and more confident people. If you're in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and ready to take your game to the next level, Coach Messy is ready to help you own your crease.
TRAINING WITH COACH MESSY
With over 25 years of goaltending experience, working with some of the top goalie coaches in the world. I am confident that we can find a training regimen that works for you that focuses on improving you game in 3 areas. Speed, Focus, and Reaction Time
We focus on efficiency. How can we get to where we need to be as quickly and in control as possible? How far out do we really need to challenge the shooter? Where can we save energy so that way we are always ready for the next shot?
The Mental aspect of goaltending is probably the most important aspect of any goalie. How can we reset our brain after we are scored on? How can we not fold, when failure is so common with goaltending?
What is the best way to stop the puck and in what situation? When is it ok to RVH and when is it not? What is a lateral release, and why is it useful? Here we focus on mastering the techniques that bring the most success to stop the most pucks!
For my coaching philosophy, I believe in the power of hard work, but I also believe in loving the game. I do not run a militant style training program, but I do ask for hard work and dedication. I want to focus on mainly developing you into a better goaltender, but my hope is that by working with my you will love the sport and appreciate it at a whole new level!
