From Underdog to Mentor—Raising Champions On and Off the Ice
Who I Am
I’m Master Coach Rich Grogan—author, mentor, lifelong martial artist, former PE teacher, and proud hockey dad.
With over 40 years of experience helping young people overcome self-doubt, build confidence, and become leaders, I created Warrior Confidence Hockey to be the mentor I always needed.
This system gives players, parents, coaches, and organizations the tools to raise confident, respectful, accountable athletes who EARN their ice time and lead with integrity.
If you’ve ever seen your child get overlooked, or watched a team fall apart from drama and poor culture—you’re not alone. I lived it. I fixed it. Now I help others do the same.
Why Warrior Confidence
Was Born
After decades of coaching in martial arts, hockey, and classrooms, I kept seeing the same core problems:
• Parent drama tearing teams apart
• Players lacking discipline, work ethic, and leadership
• Coaches overwhelmed by communication and accountability issues
• Great organizations stuck in survival mode
I created Warrior Confidence not just as a program—but as a movement.
We build character, mindset, and leadership—not just skills—because that’s what actually earns ice time, trust, and success.
Why I Do This
“I was always the smallest. Always counted out. But I never gave up—and I earned the ‘C’ or ‘A’ on nearly every team I played for.
Not because I was the best, but because I worked harder, led with heart, and respected the game.”
I’ve coached thousands of athletes. But I’ll never forget what it felt like to be overlooked.
That’s why I built Warrior Confidence—to help players rise above the noise and become the kind of leaders coaches respect.
What Makes
Warrior Confidence Different
We’re not another hype program. We don’t chase drills. We build what actually gets noticed:
1
Respect
For yourself, your teammates, your coach, and the game
2
Discipline
A relentless work ethic, even when no one’s watching
3
Communication
Coachable, confident, team-first
4
Leadership
Owning your role, setting the tone, and earning trust
“Most players don’t fail because of skill.
They fail because they lack confidence, discipline, and accountability.”
“Most teams don’t fail because of talent.
They fail because of parent drama, poor communication, and lack of leadership.”
What I Believe
- You win off the ice before you win on it.
- Ice time is earned—not given.
- Respect is a two-way street.
- Leadership is a daily choice—not just a letter on your jersey.
- We’re not just building athletes—we’re raising future leaders.
