Most sport psychologists will have you visualizing perfect performances, meditating away your nerves, and coming back to their office for years. Dr. John Edgette does none of that. What he does works faster, goes deeper, and leaves you running your own mental game long after your sessions are done.

Dr. Edgette has worked with athletes in dozens of disciplines across 50 states and internationally, including sports he had never encountered before, because the psychology of peak performance travels across every sport.

Elite performance does not happen in a vacuum. Stress, depression, addiction, and the quiet pressure to use substances that do not belong in clean competition all follow athletes onto the field, the court, and the platform whether they invite them in or not.
Dr. Edgette's background as a Doctor of Clinical Psychology means he brings something most sport performance consultants simply cannot offer. When life gets in the way of sport, he can address that too. Directly, confidentially, and without judgment.
This is the rare combination of clinical depth and performance focus. One professional. The full picture.
Great sport performance consultation addresses what happens between the ears. Great clinical psychology addresses what happens in the rest of your life. Dr. Edgette is one of the rare professionals who brings both to the table, including help with depression, addiction, and getting off substances that do not belong in your career.
One professional. The full picture.
Dr. Edgette works with child and adolescent athletes, meeting every age with the right approach.
Not Just for Olympians
This work is not reserved for professionals, Olympians, or elite competitors. It is for any athlete who wants to get as good as they possibly can in their sport. That is a goal worth pursuing at any age and any level.
Dr. Edgette puts his own methods to work every day. At over 60, he is returning to men's hardball and developing the off-speed pitches he never had in his youth. He is using the same self-hypnosis skills he teaches clients to build patience, lock in muscle memory, manage expectations, and channel competitive anxiety into sharper focus. If it works for a 60-year-old learning a curveball, it will work for you.
Most athletes pile up rituals, routines, and superstitions and then hope the zone shows up on its own. It is an unreliable strategy with everything on the line.
Self-hypnosis changes that completely. Once you learn it, getting into the zone is not something you wait for. It is something you do, immediately and reliably, every single time.
And if you get rattled mid-performance? There are specific hypnotic techniques that allow you to reset your focus and recapture the zone in seconds.
This is the skill no pre-game ritual can replicate. Ask Dr. Edgette how to make it yours.
