Troy Collins is a natural athlete who excelled in football and wrestling. He was introduced to sumo in 2001, and was determined to be a champion. While still working as a full time police officer, Troy won four national sumo titles. He was able to fulfill some of his athletic dreams by representing the United States at the World Championships.

Now retired from competition, Troy has continued his sumo participation by coaching some of the top American athletes. He was the obvious choice to coach Eric the Trainer’s Sumo Team. It would be a great victory for Troy if he could lead his athletes to world sumo championship titles.
