I appreciate all that have helped in promoting the study we are conducting at the University of Bath in Thriving in Youth Tennis.  The study will be going ahead but we wanted to go for one final push.  

If I have asked a lot, I apologise and I appreciate you maybe don't have the time to help, I just see a lot of value in this research, I believe this has the potential to help thousands of players and coaches with the outcome.

The sign-up deadline is Sunday the 11th of May and then we will proceed with the online study so if you have contact or train any players (aged 12-16yrs), I have attached a final pdf poster (any help getting it out there is greatly appreciated).

Aims of the Study to discover what are the key enablers that help players thrive (e.g., high levels of performance satisfaction and well-being) and whether thriving leads to improved performance outcomes.

Benefits of the study

• The study itself can be used as an online self reflective tool for the player

• An exploration into what aids player thriving

• A chance to win Amazon vouchers (£100, £50, & £25)

I am always happy to chat / discuss / share regarding the topic of thriving in youth sport and all are welcome to reach out. 

Kind regards, have a great summer! And last email / ask
