If you're more athletic, you're more likely to be able move to cover the ground needed. If you are a positional goaltender that prefers to let things hit you, then you have to move further from the net to cover the same amount of net. It means that you'd have to adjust your positioning entirely or you'll have to become more of an athletic guy.

It's possible to remain effective, but there is more change to what you're doing for the positional guys than the athletic ones.
