Meet Kevin Swanson

Founder, GDI Goaltending Kevin Swanson has spent a lifetime studying the position that captured his attention as a kid and never let go. What began as a passion for understanding how great goalies think, move, and compete eventually evolved into **GDI Goaltending**, a program built on clarity, structure, and a genuine commitment to developing athletes the right way. After years of coaching in junior, collegiate, and elite development environments, Kevin saw a recurring challenge. Goalies were eager to improve, but many were taught in pieces. Coaches had passion, but not always the language or framework to guide a goalie through a full progression. Kevin believed the position deserved better. It needed a system that made sense, connected each skill to the next, and helped goalies understand *why* things work, not just *how* they look. That belief shaped every chapter in this course. Kevin’s approach is built on fundamentals, honest video work, game-driven habits, and clear technical teaching. It’s the same model he’s used to train hundreds of goalies who have gone on to thrive at every level of the game. His goal is simple: to give coaches and goalies a path they can trust, and to make the position feel less overwhelming and more achievable. **The Complete Goalie Coach Toolkit is the culmination of that journey.** It’s a chance to share the full system with coaches and athletes who want to build goalies with strong habits, strong instincts, and a strong foundation for the long run.

Transform your approach.
