Pat Morris

Lawyer and Senior Partner, Newport Sports Management INC.

"I was fortunate and privileged to meet Dr. Scot McFadden many years ago as he was entrusted with creating reports for his NHL Team on four Elite NHL Draft picks who our firm represented. Without knowing any characteristics of any of the Players he created reports on their short term and long- term potential. I marvel to this day how accurate he was on each individual’s career trajectory and success levels. More impressively, I was sold on his expertise on helping young and veteran hockey players to find their maximum performance levels and how to deal with and eliminate extended periods of adversity in life and at the rink. Scot truly cares about the individual and his family. He has most recently used his wisdom and extensive experience to create “COMPETING WITH A WINNING MENTALITY”...an unrivaled blue-chip program to promote winning and consistency in sport and life. There simply is no one better in the
field!"

Dr. Lance Belchetz

"In the spring prior to my son starting his U16 hockey season, I had a meeting with my son’s agent, Pat Morris from Newport Sports Management Inc. I mentioned to Pat that I was worried about the amount of pressure and expectations my son would be facing entering his OHL draft year. These young athletes spend so much time training to perfect their craft both on and off the ice but attention to their mental preparation is often overlooked. Without missing a beat, Pat said “Ethan has to meet Dr. Scot McFadden, he’s the best in the business!”. Over the past year and a half, Dr. McFadden has been teaching my son his five step program entitled “COMPETING WITH A WINNING MENTALITY”. I cannot express how fortunate and honored I am to have Dr. McFadden work with my son. His expert guidance and expertise have been invaluable!"

Ken Hitchcock

"I worked with Dr. McFadden at the NHL level for a number of years and we formed a great partnership both in developing our leadership package and individual accountability with the players and coaching staff. Scot was a terrific asset in helping me find the right tools to inspire and motivate my players to reach their potential . I leaned on Scot a lot to unlock player’s potential and to help me find the keys to consistent performance in each player. I really valued Scot’s opinion as I knew he had the players best interest at heart. A highlight of our work together was winning the Stanley Cup with the Dallas Stars, the first in franchise history."
