SEE YOU TONIGHT
at 8:00 for
Mixed Doubles Play!
All Players Welcome!
Help out a Western U Student
My name is Sarah Deck, and I am a PhD student at Western University. I am studying emotions and coping in athletes, specifically double racquet sport athletes. I have two studies, that you, and hopefully members of your club would be interested in participating in. We (myself and my supervisor Dr. Hall) are curious about the impact of partnerships on emotional responses of athletes. For example, if emotional responses become similar over a season. One of the studies would take place over your next competative season, and involves meeting with the athletes three times (beginning, middle and end of season), at a time that would work best for them. The partners do need to agree and participant together.
The second study, is an online survey, that takes 5-10 minutes to fill out, and asks athletes about their emotional regulation when playing with their doubles partners.
If you are interested and would like to know or discuss more, I would be happy to send you the letter of information or set up a call or meeting. I think this research would be very helpful for athletes, and would love if you and your members would like to be involved!
Below is the link to the online survey, we would be happy if you could forward this to your members or any contacts you may have that would be interested.

PRO TIP OF THE WEEK:
Service Swing Path -> Flat Serve
Good video coaching showing the difference in the swing path trajectory to hit a flat drive on the serve. A good review for those with “natural” swing path service spin.

Friday AM Match Play
New for 2019!!!
At GSM this winter, we have been playing a Friday AM Match Play with a keen group of players and are looking to continue this offering at PTC and also expand it to fill our Spring and Summer Seasons for players at both clubs.
All players will be grouped according to:
- Player availability
- Skill level
- Game preference
Interested members should submit their names and availability to me (Tom) for the months of May and June in the AM. I will be working with all players to see about how we can work it out to get as many interested players out on court for organized match play.
Match play with be organized with the coaches and will be announced via email and posted for players on the website at theparisclub.ca.
Thanks for playing! See you soon!
