Mission:
The mission of the Protex
Sports Psychology Programs is to promote the student and
professional athlete’s mental game learning and development.
Consistent with Protex Sports mission to "educate the whole
person", our sport psychology program promotes the academic,
social, emotional, spiritual, athletic and personal development
of all athletes using applied sport psychology principles in
a sport performance setting. Through a process of identifying
the fears, mental barriers and other mental skills challenges,
we are able to develop strategies to find and build on success.
We believe that a healthy, mentally tough mindset is the key
element to improving performance and creating confidence. This
unique approach is the very core of our mental skills training
program and is used to assist athletes to achieve new heights
in their athletic performance, and personal lives.

Athletic Success:
Serious athletes are dedicated to their sport. They devote many
hours to the physical preparation through practice, creating
routines and refining skills; however, the key to athletic success
relies on the mental preparation of sport performance. Through
mental preparation and the utilization of mental training skills
and strategies, the mind of a champion can be further developed
to strengthen confidence, refine focus or build composure.
Protex Sports works with teams and individuals to enhance their
mental toughness skills to gain a mental edge over their competition.
We reveal the challenges that get in the way of performance
success and then assist the athlete to eliminate the mental
barriers or obstacles that impact performance. We look at each
athlete, and identify their individual fears, challenges and
beliefs that have an affect on how they perform. Our holistic
approach encourages athletes to look for both external *and*
internal factors that influence their thoughts and ultimately,
their behaviors.

Personal Success:
Sports and athletics are typically associated with enjoyment,
camaraderie and prestige; however, there are also a wide range
of unique pressures which face all competitive athletes. There
are rigorous schedules filled with practice, educational demands,
as well as traveling to and from competitions. Then, there are
the demands of coping with injuries, adjusting to the expectations
of teammates, coaches, parents, and spectators as well as being
a highly visible member of the community. While these are all
part of being involved in sports, these demands create additional
stress on athletes which can adversely impact performance.
At
Protex Sports, we understand the unique stressors which athletes
encounter on a daily basis. We help athletes, varsity-students
or professionals, find life balance between their love for sport
and the many demands of life. Our sport psychology programs
incorporate clinical and applied perspectives to ensure that
athletes have the mental stamina, and appropriate tools to succeed
both in life and in sports. We believe the athlete that performs
with healthy thoughts, and a clear performance process orientation
is much more equipped to meet the daily challenges of competition
and in turn achieve greater levels of success and enjoyment
in life.
