OUR HISTORY
THE KROLLS
Trisha was an All-State volleyball player in high school and played Division I volleyball as a setter for the University of Kansas. While at the University of Kansas, Trisha was introduced to a sport psychologist that was assigned to work with her volleyball team. This man became a hero of Trisha's and taught her how to win the battle on the 6" playing field between her ears. After graduating, Trisha got certified as a mindset coach and started the journey of passing on what she had learned to others. Word spread and the Mind of a Champion Organization was born with a mission to equip train and inspire athletes to develop a mind of a Champion in sports and in life.
Trisha is blown away by the amazing mind God has given us and it is her passion to help athletes train their mind so they can excel in sports and in life! Trisha has had the honor to work with hundreds of athletes, teams, and coaches and has launched a course and an app so that athletes can have tools to train their mind right at their finger tips.

"One of the most invaluable tools I received as a young athlete was guidance from my club coach on how to think and how to process. I was never the best athlete in the USA gym, but my intangibles (those things that can't be measured on a stat sheet) kept me competing with the best of the best for a long time."
