Introduction

Goaliesmith is a nationwide training source for goalies and goalie coaches. Founded by Andrew and Mike Gvozden, Goaliesmith offers high-intensity training sessions, overnight camps, and online coaching content. On the field, Goaliesmith events are structured to get results for each individual goalie by focusing on new training material, competition amongst the best goalies, and a unique approach to performing consistently in the goal. Their goal is to elevate each player’s game.

Challenge

When I first met Mike and Andrew, it was at First Class Lacrosse’s Best In Class event in Wilmington, Delaware. As one of the inaugural events in July of 2021, we stayed in touch and eventually linked up in the winter of 2022. The guys were in desperate need of a new website, email marketing solution, and eCommerce platform. They had lost touch with their old WordPress developer, were burning money with MailChimp blasts, and were building a huge demand for their merchandise. This reality had set in while their business and flagship event, The Goaliesmith Experience, had skyrocketed demand.

Solutions

We had to move fast, stay lean, and keep up with the brand’s killer reputation. I often recommend to clients that they move their web hosting provider to GoDaddy for three reasons: perfect integration with HubSpot, great customer service, and an easy-to-use interface. Trust me, this can be a black hole of frustration for other providers. We then launched a "Coming Soon" page on HubSpot's CMS to create anticipation for the new site. We had a strict deadline to get things done before lacrosse season started back up, so while we templated out what we envisioned for the site, we exported our email list out of MailChimp and began data cleanup before jumping into the deep end of HubSpot's CRM.

"Ryan is simply put, in a league of his own. He knows how to translate website jargon for those who are not experts, while providing his clients with the opportunity to be hands-on in creating their website/hub spot systems. Working with him is not only improving the way we do business, but is very enjoyable. Highly recommended!"

- Mike Gvozden, Goaliesmith

Results

We certainly do not take credit for Goaliesmith’s success and top-tier service offerings, but we do gloat in knowing that we helped them free up their time and maximize their budget to keep improving those service offerings to goalies around the country. Andrew, Mike, Matt, and Meg have set an industry standard for training athletes in not just lacrosse, but all sports, and it should be commended. We’re thankful to have continually worked with them since 2022 and look forward to watching the rocket ship keep ascending.
