Locker Room Truths: How Pros Win the Mental Game

One Mind. One Shift. An elite hockey player’s podcast for getting out of your own head and playing to your greatest potential. Let’s be clear up front — this is not psychology fluff. Not classroom theory. Not sterile “mindset talk” that sounds good, but changes nothing. This is Locker Room Truths — real, direct mentorship and proven 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 who gets stuck in your own head… battling pressure, confidence swings, inconsistency, or lineup uncertainty — 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. Too many minds. That’s when the body tightens. Hands get stiff. You hesitate. You stop playing free — and you end up on the bench or out of the lineup. This show exists to fix that. Because you don’t earn confidence, trust, and ice time with speeches — or psychology jargon nobody uses in the room. You earn it with real tools, simple systems, and how you respond when the moment gets heavy. Here’s what we do on this podcast: Get you out of your own head Give you simple reset systems so one mistake doesn’t turn into three Train mental strength so your talent shows up consistently Help you earn trust, stay in the lineup, and lead — with or without the letter Build the person behind the player… because that’s what extends careers This is about mastering your mind so your mind doesn’t master you. And remember — 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. 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 a mental strength & leadership mentor who’s trained performance under pressure for decades. I help elite hockey players get out of their own head and break through the mental barriers that keep them inconsistent — 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, play to your greatest potential, and leave a legacy — you’re in the right place. That’s Warrior Confidence Hockey. 👉 WarriorConfidence.com/get-started 📚 Book: GetMoreIceTime.com 📲 Follow: @RealRichGrogan
