The Power of Faith, Family, and a Champion’s Mindset w/ Trinity Provost

From a young age, Trinity Provost has had a hunger for winning. Whether dominating on the softball field, excelling on the volleyball court, or breaking records on the track, her athletic drive has always been undeniable. Now, Trinity stands as the celebrated school MVP and track star at the University of St. Thomas-Houston.

Trinity's success story goes beyond mere athletic accomplishments. While her trophy case continues to expand with medals, championships, and broken records, she also focuses on the importance of team building and fostering genuine connections.

Her path to athletic excellence hasn't been without obstacles. Trinity has faced significant injuries and challenges throughout her journey. In the interview she shares a powerful story about an especially difficult time facing injuries in both legs and a bad illness. Trinity talks about how her mom encouraged her to pray about her struggles and ask for God’s help. A few days later, she found her injuries healed and her illness gone.

Trinity embodies the "champion mindset" – applying winning mindset both on and off the field. She explains why she likes track so much: “That’s what I like about track. You’re running forward to what you’re trying to get to, but everything you’re leaving is behind. All that dirt is behind.”

Watch the full episode to hear from Trinity Provost as she shares her inspirational journey from promising young athlete to collegiate champion, revealing valuable lessons about perseverance, teamwork, and maintaining mental toughness when facing life's biggest challenges.
