The implication from the interview is that Pam Jaeger x216 [email protected] tennis is not growing in America because we have fewer of the top players in Controller I Larry Eichenbaum x222 [email protected] the world. It is interesting that tennis in America declined the most as Jimmy Connors and McEnroe were being replaced by Jim Courier, Pete Sampras and Community Development Department Andre Agassi, and the women were moving from Martina Navratilova and Director of Community Development Chris Evert to Venus and Serena Williams. Mike Carter x207 [email protected] Our growth since 2000 has been the strongest since the 1970’s and well ahead Assist. Director Community Development / CTAs / Tennis On Campus of other traditional sports, but the list of top American players has dwindled. I Todd Carlson x208 [email protected] am not certain that the two are related, but the implication by the HBO show is Junior Team Tennis Coordinator certainly not true. Tennis is growing in America and may be on the verge of the Eric Clay x212 [email protected] greatest growth spurt ever. Community Development Support Staff / Wheelchair Coordinator Taylor Helfeldt X219 [email protected] What is true about American tennis is that we have not been exposing all Community Development Support Staff / NJTL Coordinator / Diversity youngsters to tennis at the same time and age that soccer, baseball, and other Nichole Williams x218 [email protected] sports do. Therefore, we do not get our fair share of athletes to compete on the Tennis Service Representative - Fort Worth / North Central Region world scene, and we do not get our fair share of youngsters getting excited and Laura Gilbert [email protected] committed to tennis. The front and center answer is in the form of 10 & Under Tennis Service Representative - Houston / Southeast Region Tennis which exposes youngsters the same time as the other sports. Cindy Benzon [email protected] Right now the largest tennis program in Texas is deep into its playoffs. It has Tennis Service Representative - Panhandle / West Texas more players than USTA Junior Competitive Tennis. We at USTA Texas have less Amanda Randle [email protected] than 25,000 junior USTA players, the UIL High School Team Tennis may have over Tennis Service Representative - Dallas / Northeast Region 40,000 players each year. Each team has seven boys and seven girls with others Robyn Readicker [email protected] vying for a position. What this implies is that Team tennis is key to coming up to Tennis Service Representative - Waco / Austin/San Antonio Sam Jones [email protected] the McEnroes’ expectations. Tennis Service Representative - South Texas Whether our goal is larger numbers or better top players, the answer is clearly Katy Rogers [email protected] the same. We must make our sport more public. There are two ways. The one we have the most control over requires a paradigm shift from expecting pros Competitive Department and clubs to produce players and to follow the models of Little League Baseball Director of Competitive Tennis and Youth Soccer. That one requires more parents coaching and more com- Steve Cobb x210 [email protected] munity involvement. The vehicle after 10 & Under Tennis is Junior Team Tennis Adult & Senior Competitive Coordinator (JTT) from ages 11 at least up to high school. This would achieve the broader Nancy Perkins x217 [email protected] base of players that would feed the exceptional players into the willing arms of Section League Coordinator Tosha Smith x231 [email protected] our excellent teaching professionals. The Community Tennis Association (CTA) Junior Competitive Coordinator Expansion Plan has had this in mind as we work to strengthen our umbrella Melissa Chambers x220 [email protected] CTA’s and put them in charge of growing JTT. Junior Competitive Coordinator If you have time, offer up your services to your local CTA to help them build Paige Schumacher x211 [email protected] a public JTT program on the model of baseball and soccer. Tennis is a lifetime Junior Competitive Coordinator healthy sport that certainly should be a primary choice of kids. Nick Arnold x209 [email protected] Finally, there is a second way to make tennis more public simultaneously with the NTRP/Assistant League Coordinator first. It is to encourage the schools to support tennis in the same way as they support Todd Reed x232 [email protected] other sports. Many schools have perpetuated the myth that tennis and golf are for Field Staff - 10 and Under the rich kids. Therefore they do not have to support it as much. Even if it was true, Amanda Shaw [email protected] and it is not, all youngsters should be exposed to a sport that will benefit them for Marketing Department life. We must advocate tennis to our schools – using 10 & Under and JTT.

    Player Perceptions and Biomechanical Responses to Tennis Court Surfaces: the Implications to Technique and Injury Risk

    PLAYER PERCEPTIONS AND BIOMECHANICAL RESPONSES TO TENNIS COURT SURFACES: THE IMPLICATIONS TO TECHNIQUE AND INJURY RISK Submitted by Chelsea Starbuck, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sport and Health Sciences September 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… 1 Abstract Elite tennis players are required to perform on a variety of tennis court surfaces which differ in mechanical characteristics, such as friction and hardness, influencing their performance and risk of injury. To understand the influence of surfaces on performance and injury risk, three studies were conducted to investigate tennis players’ perceptions and biomechanical responses during tennis-specific movements on different court surfaces. In study 1, tennis players perceptions of acrylic and clay courts were identified following a thematic inductive analysis of semi-structured interviews (n = 7) to develop of a series of visual analogue scales (VAS) to quantify perceptions during studies 2 and 3. Perceptions of predictability of the surface and players’ ability to slide and change direction emerged, in addition to anticipated perceptions of grip and hardness. Study 2 aimed to examine the influence of court surfaces and prior clay court experience on perceptions and biomechanical characteristics of tennis-specific skills.
