Rich’s Story
My Journey to empowering champions…
I was always the smallest, often told I wasn’t big, strong, or talented enough. But what I lacked in size, I made up for with an unyielding drive to battle through every obstacle and never give up.
While others doubted my abilities, I relied on heart, relentless determination, and my “inner warrior” to earn my ice time and leadership roles, proudly wearing the “C” or “A” on most teams I played for.
- I’ve won championships in both hockey and martial arts, not because I was the strongest, but because I embodied the never-quit mindset of a true champion.
- I’ve won numerous championships in hockey and Martial Arts by embodying a never-give-up attitude.
- For 35 years, I’ve dedicated my life to empowering athletes with integrity, respect, and the heart of a warrior, guiding them to achieve excellence and stand out as leaders on and off the ice.e.
