New Solutions Network Welcomes Coach Kellz to #GameMindset

Uniting to Raise Awareness and Funds for Project 201—One Story, One Kid, One Future at a Time

PATERSON, NJ, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The New Solutions Network (NSN) proudly welcomes Coach Shawn “Kellz” Kelly to #GameMindset, our podcast series where youth sports, mental health, and real-world resilience intersect.

Coach Kellz isn’t a celebrity coach. He’s a former Hudson County corrections officer who blew the whistle on what was happening behind the walls—and paid the price. While still recovering from multiple surgeries and fighting to be heard, he launched Project 201, a grassroots mentorship movement that reaches kids the system keeps leaving behind.

“They’re not always gonna like what I have to tell them,” he says. “But I tell them anyway—because I care. That’s what real mentorship looks like.”
— Coach Kellz

This partnership between Game Mindset and Project 201 isn’t just about content—it’s a commitment. We’re joining forces to amplify unheard voices, fund real solutions, and support the people doing the work with no budget, no backing—just heart.

Coach Kellz now offers a boxing program, 201 Boxing, over at the Great Falls Youth Center Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 3.30 - 4.30pm.

ABOUT THE NEW SOLUTIONS NETWORK
The New Solutions Network (NSN) is a multidisciplinary ecosystem built at the collision point of behavioral science, storytelling, and soul.

Founded by life science brand launcher Natanya Wachtel—National Science Foundation industry mentor, angel investor, and behavioral science alchemist—NSN reimagines how we heal, learn, and build systems that serve humanity. New Solutions Network (NSN) is a multi-division ecosystem where behavioral science, storytelling, and business design become infrastructure for human and enterprise transformation. NSN operates as a company made of companies, with coordinated divisions that turn insight into systems, content into commerce, and lived experience into measurable outcomes.

Structured like Alphabet Inc. for consciousness and culture and growth, NSN operates through four living divisions: Wellness, Enterprise, Media, and Advocacy in Action—each designed to transform pain into power and data into collective healing.

NSN Media — Narrative as Medicine.
#Game Mindset is part of NSN Media, a cinematic storytelling network that turns experience into evidence. Every show is its own frequency. Together, they form one nervous system of truth, redemption, and reinvention.

#Game Mindset — Sports, Psychology & Identity
The field is mental, emotional, and cultural. From What’s Going On (Fox Sports Radio) to Renaissance in Paris (in development with Netflix & Shaquille O’Neal), this division reveals the emotional intelligence behind performance and the psychology that wins after the whistle.

Our Why
Because the world doesn’t need more content—it needs connection.
Because resilience is not a buzzword—it’s a biological imperative.
And because science without soul is just data, and soul without structure is just noise.

The New Solutions Network exists to merge the two—building a future where healing scales, stories liberate, and every human being has the tools to remember who they are and what they’re capable of becoming.
