Win the Mind. Win the Shift.
If you're a pro or elite hockey player — or any elite competitor — who's stuck in your own head, battling pressure, confidence swings, inconsistency, or letting one mistake turn into three… this podcast is for you.
Because the problem isn't skill.
- It's too many minds.
- Too many thoughts.
- Too much pressure.
- Too much noise.
That's when the body tightens.
The hands get stiff.
Hesitation creeps in.
Effort changes.
Confidence drops.
Now you're not playing — you're second-guessing.
You're over-thinking.
And when you're over-thinking, your talent disappears —
confidence drops, trust slips, and the game starts playing you.
That's how elite players end up:
- in and out of the lineup,
- losing minutes,
- losing trust,
- losing belief —
Not because they can't play.
But because the pressure is playing them.
This show exists to fix that.
Locker Room Truths is real, no-BS mentorship built to strengthen the person behind the player — because when the person becomes mentally strong, disciplined, resilient, and confident, the player becomes unstoppable.
At the highest levels, everyone can skate.
Everyone can shoot.
Everyone belongs on skill.
What separates the players who stay, earn trust, and lead
is who wins the mental game under pressure.
WHAT WE FOCUS ON
- Getting out of your own head when the moment gets heavy
- Recovering faster after mistakes (so one mistake doesn't turn into three)
- Earning coach trust and staying in the lineup
- Competing free instead of tight
- Building unbreakable confidence and self-belief
- Becoming the kind of leader teammates and coaches trust
- Because you don't win careers all at once.
- You win them one shift at a time.
THE WARRIOR CONFIDENCE STANDARD
- Win the Mind.
- Win the Shift.
- Stay in the Lineup.
- Leave a Legacy.
THE METHOD
I don't just talk about mindset.
I train mental strength.
When a player gets in his own head, there's a barrier there.
We don't overanalyze it.
We don't baby it.
We blast through it.
That's how trust is earned.
That's how minutes are earned.
That's how roles and contracts are earned.
HOST — COACH RICH GROGAN
I'm Coach Rich Grogan — 7th degree black belt, Master Martial Arts Instructor with 45+ years in martial arts, lifelong hockey player, and mental strength coach with 30+ years training performance under pressure.
I help elite hockey players get out of their own head and break through the mental barriers that keep them out of the lineup — so their talent shows up when it matters most.
In martial arts, we break boards to break fear, hesitation, and limiting beliefs.
In hockey, the boards are mental — but the process is the same, and the result is playing to your full potential.
