About Troy

Troy Horne is a multi-talented creator, coach, and entrepreneur whose life journey bridges the worlds of performance, parenting, and personal growth. As a former Broadway performer, professional musician, and television actor, Troy brings a unique blend of discipline, stage presence, and creativity to everything he does. He has graced the stage in the Broadway hit Rent, appeared on NBC’s The Sing-Off, and performed across the country as a singer and motivational speaker.

But his most impactful role has been offstage: as a father. When his son Moses expressed a dream to become a professional basketball player, Troy embarked on a new mission: helping his child succeed not just physically, but mentally. Drawing from his own experiences in high-pressure performance environments, Troy developed a mental toughness framework tailored to young athletes. His journey led to interviews with sports icons like Kobe Bryant and Chauncey Billups, the launch of the Hoopchalk Basketball Podcast, and the bestselling book series Mental Toughness For Young Athletes, co-authored with Moses.

Now, Troy is a sought-after speaker, author, and youth performance coach, helping families, coaches, and athletes across the country unlock mental strength and resilience. His work is grounded in the belief that greatness is a mindset and that with the right tools, anyone can rise to the occasion.
