“We were so appreciative of Sarah’s work with our UMass student-athlete population. The feedback we received from our student-athletes was that Sarah did a great job of connecting with them and listening. Many of them felt her positive impact in competition and in the classroom because of her advice and direction.”
"Dr. Giasullo was the reason that I am now able to recognize that I am more than just a number on a roster. Before 2 ACL tears, I had always simply identified myself as an athlete and nothing more. However, Dr. Giasullo was able to elevate my game on the field by digging into who I was at my core off the field. I will be forever grateful for the value as a person that Dr. Giasullo emphasized that I had that made my value as a player that much stronger."
Sarah has helped my daughter work through the mental side of competitive sports. She has been there through successes as well as more challenging experiences as a source of support as well as helping work through the issue and facing the next challenge. Whether the struggle is physical or mental, Sarah always takes the time to talk with my daughter and to help her find the inner strength she needs to continue her quest to be a champion. I cannot say enough positive things about the difference Sarah has made for my daughter, not only as a competitor but as a person.
"Sarah is amazing! I started talking to Sarah when I was recovering from a major injury, and I was caught up in the scale of my recovery, overwhelmed by how far off all of my goals seemed, and disappointed about missing an entire year of my collegiate rowing career. Sarah was so supportive, she helped me change my outlook on the situation and learn how to set smaller goals that were going to help me get back to competing. Since working with her my mentality has improved so much -I am now able to be more positive and productive during adverse situations."
“Sarah is an outstanding resource. She was instrumental in helping me taking care of myself as I recovered from an injury. She has made a tremendous impact on my life and outlook on sports"
"As a father of a teenage son who plays competitive soccer, it was recommended that a Sport’s Psychology Consultant could help improve the mental aspect of his game. Having played competitive soccer herself at the collegiate level gave her instant credibility with my son. She provided him with very useful tools to incorporate during games which definitely had a positive impact. I would wholeheartedly recommend her for any competitive athlete looking to enhance their game"
"Sarah is amazing! I have meet with many sports psychology consultants and she is by far the best! Sarah takes the time to know you, as both a person and an athlete. Other sports psychology consultants I have meet with did not seem very inviting or warm and fuzzy, Sarah was the opposite. She helped me to improve so much and I am so thankful for all of her help"
"My team was introduced to Sarah at the beginning of my junior year. I was recently voted as a team captain along with another teammate. My co-captain and myself began to visit Sarah weekly to talk about our leadership skills and how we could best help our team become successful. Sarah also helped our team organize goals for the season, as well as come up with expectations and repercussions for our team. Sarah was the best! I do not know what we would have done without her this year. She is such an easy person to talk to and she always finds a productive and positive outcome, even in very negative situations. We considered Sarah a part of our team and a major reason for our success. Sarah will make an incredible impact wherever she goes, and I am beyond grateful for the time I had with her. I am grateful for her openness and compassion, as well as her skills in building good leaders and good teams. She is hard working, dedicated, and genuine. Sarah rocks!"
“I had worked with other mental performance coaches before, but Sarah offered me a different perspective and tools. She helped me get out of my slump and on my way to be drafted"
“Going to Sarah was one of the best decisions in my Irish Dancing career. Without her, I would not be where I am today. I am able to control my anxiety and feel confident before going on stage to perform - something I could not do before meeting with her. Her advice helps me live up to my full potential too. I had so many habits at the beginning that put me behind at my competitions, but after working with Sarah, I am now able to say the habits are no longer ingrained in my head. The transision from barely suceeding at competitions to placing at regionals took time and effort, but in the end it was worth it!"
