The Power of Excuses

This is a podcast for elite hockey players who want to get out of their own head, stay in the lineup, and perform to their greatest potential — when pressure is highest and mistakes matter most.
This is not psychology fluff.
Not classroom theory.
Not sterile "mindset talk" that sounds good but changes nothing.
This is real, direct mentorship and proven mental-game tools to help you win the one battle that controls everything — the battle in your own mind.
If you're a pro or elite player battling pressure, confidence swings, inconsistency, or letting one mistake turn into three — you're not alone. And you're not broken.
Most of the time, the problem isn't skill.
It's too many thoughts.
Too much noise.
Too much pressure.
That's when the body tightens.
Hands get stiff.
You hesitate.
You stop playing free.
And that's when confidence slips, trust fades, and minutes disappear.
This podcast exists to strengthen the human behind the player — because when the person grows stronger, the player becomes unstoppable.

Winning on the ice starts with winning the deepest battle you'll ever face: the battle in your mind.
And when you win that battle, you don't just rise as a player — you rise in every area of life.
At the pro level, everyone can skate.
Everyone can shoot.
Everyone has the talent to be here.
What separates the players who stay, excel, and lead…
is who wins the mental game.

Most players never get coached on that part — identity, discipline, confidence, resets, pressure, emotional control, leadership, and how to bounce back fast after mistakes.
That gap is where careers stall… or take off.
That's where this show comes in.

What you'll learn on this podcast:
• How to get out of your own head and play free
• What actually earns a coach's trust
• Why some players stay in the lineup
• How to reset instantly after mistakes
• How to rebuild confidence when it slips
• How identity shapes performance
• How leaders carry themselves under pressure
• How to handle scratches, slumps, and internal battles
• How to win the mental game so your skill shows up when it counts
This isn't hype or cliché motivation.
This is real mentorship — the mental-game coaching pros wish they had earlier in their careers.

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 guy, and a mental strength & leadership mentor who's trained performance under pressure for decades.
I help elite hockey players break through the mental barriers that cause inconsistency — 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.
If you're ready to get out of your own head, stay in the lineup, and leave a legacy — you're in the right place.

The Warrior Confidence Standard
Win the Mind.
Win the Shift.
Stay in the Lineup.
Leave a Legacy.

That's Warrior Confidence Hockey.
