Trisha Rhodes knows what wearing the De Pere uniform feels like. As a former soccer player she had conviction, but when time came to be the coach she had doubts.
They didn't last long. Rhodes was quickly able to build consistency, confidence and team chemistry. With ever win she saw her girls begin believing in their abilities and translate that to success on the field. Under Rhodes, De Pere went to the state tournament four times.
