About Ralph Cox

I was a member of the 1979 USA National Team for the World Cup Championship and the 1980 USA Olympic Gold Medal Hockey Team. I’ve become a case study in the book, “Win At Losing: How Our Biggest Setbacks Can Lead To Our Greatest Gains,” by Sam Weinman.I was the last player cut from the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team, but this was not the final chapter of my life! Instead, it was a hidden blessing of sorts. Courage to fail is a magical opportunity to create success and happiness.I applied lessons learned from my hockey career to pursue opportunities in commercial real estate. As a founding member and Principal of Redgate, I’m a managing member of the Investment Committee, helping to steer its strategic direction.
