Testimonials
Feedback has been provided below from clients that Sarah has worked with
Anna
~1st team and international hockey player
"The most helpful thing for me was having a safe space to talk about what I was going through which eventually helped me overcome [this].
Also being given tools to help me overcome for the future or if anything happened again. Sarah really helped pull me out of a dark place and I am very grateful for her!"
Tom Flowers Cricket Coaching
~Feedback from Elite Residentials Camp 2025
"The experience was great. It was fun and engaging and most importantly I learnt a lot especially about the psychological side of cricket."
"My son really valued the sport psychology [input] and in result said it was helpful"
"Sarah at Mindset for performance has been assisting us with our Elite Residential Cricket programme here at TFCC.
We entrust Sarah with our young aspiring cricketers to both mentor and support their sports psych needs over the duration of the course.
Sarah does this with the utmost diligence, professionalism and enthusiasm and is a credit to her business and we can't recommend her more highly. She is equally as impressive when delivering on a 121 basis and in a group setting, forming an impressive rapport with players over a short space of time.
We are looking forward to welcoming Sarah and the team back in 2026."
Jade, football player (NTFC Women)
"Sarah was always available.
I liked that she allowed me to speak and it didn’t feel like psychology overload. We have come up with solutions together so nothing has been forced upon me.
The 1:1 support was so important for me, she knew when I needed a check in or a nudge on matchdays. All the tools we went through helped me in some way and they evolved as the season went on.
She kept things fresh and provided useful feedback during our chats together.
I don’t think I would have made it through the season without Sarah’s support."
NTFC Women joint managers
“Sarah has provided useful workshops for the girls and we have had positive reactions from the players about these. Sarah has improved cohesion within the team and has worked with individual players to get the best out of them.”

Bob, first-time marathon runner
"I knew I needed some help in tackling the mental side of getting around the London Marathon but had no idea on where to start with this.
Talking through everything with Sarah was invaluable. Going into it I was expecting to be let in on the BIG secret that would be the key to successful running. As it turned out there wasn’t one. Instead there were many small steps that Sarah led me to and helped me work through.
Having somebody to discuss the mental challenges with and be guided through building up my resilience and faith in my own abilities allowed me to step up to the start line with a confidence I had only hoped for when I started my journey."
Emily, football player aged 15
"Since working with Sarah, I feel more confident in myself and in football and am not worrying as much.
I understand that change doesn’t happen overnight and need to work on this myself.
I have learnt useful tools for my worries and to stay calm, especially when under pressure."
Emily's mother
"What you do is so important, not just for her football, it’s for her in general too.
She’s such a wonderful person and it’s been so heart-warming to see her confidence gradually build.
Thank you Sarah. We much appreciate your time and expertise."
Sofia, youth ballet dancer
"We have nothing but positive things to say about Sofia's sessions with Sarah which were really special.
Sofia found her very easy to talk to and said she was understanding and kind which meant that she looked forward to seeing her each week.
​
Sofia said she helped get her worries away sometimes by just being able to talk about them openly with someone who understands. Sarah also shared lots of techniques such as visualisation, box breathing and self talk which were easy tools for her to use to help with anxiety and over thinking.
Since spending time with Sarah, Sofia has gained so much more in confidence in the way she thinks about things. She is able to switch to more positive thoughts when negative thought patterns arise and this really impacted her recent scholarship day.
A huge thank you Sarah for all your help in giving Sofia some useful tools which can be used for the rest of her life."
