can we help you?

you uncover the hidden mental barriers that adversely impact
athletic performance and stifle the inner athlete. Then, we
craft and refine your unique mental game plan so that you find

IN SUCCESS
Protex
Sports provides the mental skills to compete effectively and
consistently as a solid performer.
"John Ellsworth of Protex Sports has done an admirable
job working with my 14-year-old son. John's coaching has given
him the mental skills to compete effectively and consistently
as a solid performer on his traveling club baseball team. My
son's batting has definitely improved. Furthermore, his ability
to respond to challenging situations and improved emotional
composure has made him one of the most reliable pitchers on
his team. He often serves as the "closer" in pool
play and as one of the regular starting pitchers in the play-off
rounds in tournaments. Thanks, John for helping my son's baseball
efforts become more satisfying and successful for him."
Sports
psychology is highly recommended to anyone who is serious about
competing and excelling at their sport.
"Working with John provided me far more than I originally
expected. Not only did we address my initial issues, but then
we focused on improving my mental attitude and establishing
a game plan for all phases of my sport from training to competition.
I would highly recommend John and Sports Psychology to anyone
who is serious about competing and excelling at their sport.

Protex
Sports helps athletes become mentally prepared and tougher to
excel in sports competition.
"John Ellsworth helped our son during his post surgery
rehabilitation and during his Senior year on the Varsity water
polo and basketball teams. Immediately after surgery, our son
wasn't sure he wanted to play sports again, but because of his
inner strength, a killer conditioning program, and John's assistance
in becoming mentally prepared and tougher, our son returned
to competitive sports and excelled. He has even been accepted
to the college of his choice along with the opportunity to play
both sports. John helped our son defeat mental adversity and
improve his competitive in game performance."

The
whole mental strategy, both pertaining to sports and off the
sports field, becomes much stronger and continues to be stronger.
"My
testimonial may be different than others, but it brings out
John's strengths as a mental game coach.
First of all, I would like to say that John has a lot of experience
in this field, he is very familiar with the sports 'business'
on a professional sports, college sports, and high school sports
level, educates himself well on any issues a client may be facing,
and does research on the particular set of issues involved.
He is educated on the mentality and behavior of sports personnel,
and has a good idea on how a coach or a player or whomever might
react in a particular situation.
He is also very strong in pinpointing particular problem(s)
that the athlete many have in regard to their mental game, which
may then affect their sports performance, for example perfectionism,
procrastination, fear, etc. and he builds a plan to work step
by step with the athlete to resolve these issues and thus allow
the athlete to play to their true game potential.
John has worked with my daughter, a collegiate division I sports
participant. He has not only helped her progress through a serious
injury, but works and continues to work on her mental game as
well. Her whole mental strategy, both pertaining to sports and
off the sports field, has become much stronger and continues
to become stronger while working with John.
John also adds the element of 'hope' to all situations. No matter
how bad a situation may seem, John will find rays of light and
hope, and turn the situation into a positive, and educate the
athlete to deal with the situation, that with hard work, there
may/will be light at the end of the tunnel, which in turn, teaches
the athlete to better deal with this and other situations, both
sports related and non-sports related.
In addition, John cares about the client, he goes the extra
mile to help the athlete to reach his or her goals. I have worked
with other sports trainers (not mental coaches but sports trainers)
and each at times seemed out for themselves, their main goal
to promote their own business. John is genuinely concerned with
the athlete's goals and their progress in achieving those goals".
"Before
I knew about Sports Psychology, I was not a very confident
individual. In February 2006, I was set back even further
when I had a major operation on my ribcage.
It took me months to recover from this physically, but I was
still damaged mentally. I then met John and he introduced
me to Sports Psychology. I soon developed a more open
mind set and began to live and play sports without
fear. My confidence rose to levels I had never seen before,
and this helped me on and off the court, in and out of the
pool. Thanks to Sports Psychology and John's help, I am now
living my life in a greater state of freedom and excelling
in sports because I know that I have the mental edge over my
competition."
Regain confident by developing a positive mental focus.
"John
Ellsworth has been tremendously successful in working
with my son, a varsity golfer at Bellarmnie College Prep.
He was able to help my son work through a significant
mental block in his game and gave him the tools to continue
moving forward. John’s interest, involvement and expertise went well
beyond my expectations. He was able to help my son regain his
confidence by working on efficient practice strategies and
by developing a positive mental focus. We are so grateful that
my son was able to get back into his game and go on to CCS
finals and NorCal with his team. I’m absolutely positive
this would not have been possible without John’s involvement.
John’s
guidance went above and beyond the realm of golf. He has
empowered my son in a way that will support his needs through
college and beyond. As a parent I am grateful that my son
was able to finish out the year in golf and even more grateful
that my son has found a fantastic mentor in John. Our group
effort has been extremely effective on so many levels.
Thanks again John!"
