The Journey
Most goalie coaches talk a big game. Coach Messy? He's been living it for over 25 years—in the crease, behind the bench, and everywhere in between. Based out of Fort Worth, Texas at the Nytex Sports Complex, he's not here to run drills you could find on YouTube. He's here to transform goalies from the ground up.
Here's what separates him from everyone else: Coach Messy learned from the best in the business. He trained under Ian Clark, goalie coach of the Vancouver Canucks, and Thomas Speer, goalie coach of the San Jose Sharks. When you're learning from NHL-level coaches, you're not getting watered-down techniques—you're getting the real deal.
But it doesn't stop there. Coach Messy currently plays semi-pro for the Mansfield Barracudas, which means he's not some retired coach living in the past. He's active. He's in the game. He knows what players are doing right now. He's up to date with the latest trends, techniques, and strategies because he's using them himself, every single week. You're not getting outdated advice—you're getting what works today.
Whether you're a beginner trying to figure out which way is up, or an elite-level goalie hunting for that extra edge, Coach Messy delivers personalized, no-BS training that actually works. His approach isn't one-size-fits-all—it's custom-built for you, your game, and your goals.
What sets him apart? Energy. Passion. Results. He doesn't just throw techniques at you and hope they stick. He breaks down the most complex saves into simple, digestible steps—and more importantly, he makes you understand why you're doing it. Every session attacks the fundamentals: skating, positioning, tracking, puck management. But it goes deeper than that. He's building your confidence, mental toughness, and game IQ.
His mission isn't complicated: Make you the best goalie you can possibly be—not just on the ice, but as a competitor, teammate, and person. If you're ready to stop settling and start dominating your crease, you're in the right place.
