Trevor Conner · Founder, Hearts & Minds

Trevor Conner, founder of Hearts & Minds

Our mission starts with the person.

Your identity is bigger than a business result, a scoreboard, or a stopwatch. That belief shapes the work we do with owners, leaders, athletes, and teams.

We listen first. Then we help people understand the pressure they carry and build mental skills they can use in their decisions, relationships, work, and sport.

Our work draws on sport psychology, counseling, military performance training, and positive psychology. Personal development, business leadership, and spiritual growth are part of that work.

Meet Trevor Conner.

Founder & mental performance coach

Fifteen years in sport psychology. Work with athletes from youth sport to the Olympics, and with leaders carrying responsibility for their teams and businesses.

Trevor founded Hearts & Minds to help people develop the mental skills they need under pressure. His work connects what happens in performance with the person living the rest of the day.

Today, he works directly with founders and business owners on difficult decisions, leadership, and the pressure that follows them home. Sport remains part of the foundation, with coaching for athletes, parents, and teams.
