  • “Dr. McElhenie, simply put, is excellent. He's a total professional who has the experience to speak confidently about his domain, but also approached my case with a level of thoughtfulness and individuality that made me feel like his most important client. We were able to quickly pick up where we had left off each session because he really listens and cares, and his easy-going nature makes it easy to begin a conversation. I'd strongly recommend Dr. McElhenie to anyone.”

  • “Michael is awesome. I feel as though he helped me solve some issues that I had been having for a long time. He is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. He balances creating space for me to talk and process things myself with offering helpful strategies, tools, and perspective.”

    -NHL Goaltender

  • "Our work with Exult Sports and Dr. Michael has been truly exceptional, revolutionizing the outdated methodologies in youth sports. Through personalized sessions, he's not only elevated my son's performance but is reshaping the entire approach to youth sports psychology. A game-changer for both individual growth, on and off court, and the broader sports community!"

    -Toni Danielson

  • “Our 14U hockey goalie has been working with Greg and Mike for about 2 years now. Not only has Exult taught our son to manage the stresses and the very specific mental aspects of being a goalie, but he has also been given the tools to apply these skills to school, and life in general as it pertains to a 14-year-old. Growing up as an aspiring tennis player, I wish these resources had been available to me.”

    -Carl, Parent of 14U Hockey Goalie
