Coaching For Performance and Positive Change

“Amy is one of the most positive, grounded and thoughtful people you could meet: her passion for an active, energetic life, along with her drive to impart the wisdom she’s gained from studying the science of positive psychology, will make her a wonderful guide and life coach for anyone interested in improving their outlook and their circumstances in the future.”

“Amy brings a
wealth of expertise and energy to the exciting area of wellness and sports psychology coaching. She gets the broad range of needs of her clients, understanding the performance demands of top athletes and at the same time knows how to motivate a busy mom to find time to take a walk. Amy’s years of practice as a nationally known health and fitness editor allows her the ability to read, understand, translate and apply the new cutting-edge science of positive psychology in a way that’s user-friendly and inspiring. If you need help focusing on a performance or wellness goal, Amy is the one to call!”

"As a professional tennis player, the mental side of the game is everything. Amy helped me to let go of what was not within my control, get back to feeling confident playing my game and learn to refocus my mind on what’s important. I am actually loving tennis again and excited to compete. I would highly recommend working with Amy. She is professional, kind and I feel like she really cares about helping me achieve my tennis goals. She has helped me realize my strengths and showed me how to use them to focus better on court and become stronger mentally. She has also greatly helped me in being more accepting of things that happen on and off the court that are not in my favor. This was something I greatly struggled with. I would highly recommend Amy to other athletes. She is easy to talk to, has experience and definitely knows what she is talking about. I look forward to more sessions with her!”

“Amy has long been my ‘go-to’ person for advice of all sorts. Whether it’s a question about finding the right trainer, designing the optimum fitness routine for a busy husband, or how to motivate pre-teen boys through a challenging school year, Amy is always spot on. Her academic grounding in positive psychology (which she covers for me at the Huffington Post), and her real life expertise as a mother of three boys, gives Amy a unique skill set in helping adults and kids achieve their true potential.”

“As a former world top-ten tennis player and now a coach of high-performance players, there is no question that getting a player (and his or her parents) in a good mindset is the single most important element in achieving greatness. It is also the most difficult. Amy Tardio will help driven young athletes make clear their emerging goals, help them learn to develop their passion for hard work and negotiate the roadblocks (including those that arise between parent and child) that are inherent in becoming one’s best. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.”

“Amy’s positive energy and sense of fun is alive in her coaching. Her approach, while rooted in the science of positive psychology, is both intuitive and non-judgemental. Amy’s clients feel both cared for and understood. Amy is someone you can trust will be with you every step of the way.”

“I just wanted to send you a copy of the coaching paper I wrote for my counseling class. Feel free to use any part of my paper or email to advertise your website, or anything else. I also wanted to let you know I recently got my acceptance letter to George Mason! I wanted to say thank you because you were of such great help. The breathing techniques and confidence boost really helped a lot.”
