Inspiring Growth: Who I Am and Who I Help
I’m Master Coach Rich Grogan—an empowerment coach, speaker, and mentor for athletes and leaders, especially hockey players. My mission is simple: to ignite the warrior spirit within champions, empowering them to rise above the rest and become leaders both on and off the ice.
Our Core Values
Driven by Integrity, Respect, Relentless Work Ethic, and Leadership, these core principles fuel every aspect of our coaching and development—building champions on and off the ice.
Integrity
Champions lead by example. Through honesty and accountability, I teach athletes to hold themselves to the highest ethical standards, staying true to their values in both sports and life.
Respect
Respect is the foundation of greatness. Building respect for oneself, teammates, coaches, and the game is non-negotiable—it’s the cornerstone of everything I teach.
Relentless Work Ethic
The road to success is paved with hard work. I instill a relentless work ethic in my athletes, pushing them to outwork the competition and consistently give their best.
Leadership
True leaders inspire others. I coach players to step up with confidence, lead by action, and take initiative on and off the ice—preparing them to rise into leadership roles and make a lasting impact.

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.
