Tavish Bochek is a performance coach and the XONE Performance Hockey Goaltending Subject Matter Expert, specializing in the biomechanical and physical demands unique to the goaltending position. His perspective is shaped by a competitive hockey background that began in southern Saskatchewan and continued through Edmonton, alongside years of focused study and applied coaching in sport performance.Tavish is currently completing a Master of Science in Applied Biomechanics and holds certification in sports nutrition, supporting a coaching approach that blends rigorous analysis with practical application. He begins with a detailed understanding of the demands placed on goaltenders, working backward to ensure that training outside the rink directly enhances performance, durability, and confidence in the crease.

He brings expertise in movement efficiency, joint health, and position-specific strength for goalies, advocating for more intentional and modern training methodologies in a role that is often underserved by traditional hockey development models, even at elite levels. Tavish emphasizes preparing goalies not just to make saves, but to repeat high-quality movement under fatigue, pressure, and unpredictable game demands.Influenced by athletes such as Barry Sanders, Roger Federer, and Sergei Bobrovsky, Tavish values efficiency, adaptability, and economy of motion. In his own training, his focus is longevity, staying healthy enough to get on the ice multiple times each week, outdrive friends on the golf course, and continue the lifelong challenge of becoming a competent tennis player.
