Coach Richey

I help athletes fix the moment after the mistake…
so confidence doesn’t disappear after one bad play. Growing up in a challenging neighborhood, I was exposed to the harsh realities of drugs, violence, and gangs. With the absence of a father figure in my life, I found myself navigating difficult choices, eventually leading me to sell drugs and even establish a gang with my brother at the tender age of 15. Determined to create a life filled with purpose and positivity, I made a conscious decision to rise above the chaos surrounding me. My journey has been filled with unexpected twists and turns. I pursued a career in professional American Football, dedicating five years of my life to the sport and facing its physical demands head-on. However, a fateful drive-by shooting changed my life forever. I became a victim of 11 bullets, two of which pierced my body, with one bullet remaining lodged within me to this day. Alongside this physical struggle, I also battled addiction, experiencing the crushing loss of everything I had and ultimately filing for bankruptcy. Yet, amidst these trials, I discovered a remarkable resilience within myself. Over the past decade, I have conquered the depths of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and insecurities. I've triumphed over my gambling addiction, celebrating eight years of sobriety, and have unlocked the power of healing, forgiveness, and self-love.
