Mitchi Collette won multiple awards during her seven years as a right guard and defensive end for the Toledo Troopers. She was awarded the Offensive Lineman and Defensive Player of the year six times. Her dedication to women’s professional football is ongoing; she currently serves as the WPFL (Women’s Professional Football League) Historian, and she has also attained the position as the first female head coach in the Women’s Football League.
