THE STUDY WILL EXAMINE THE CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE LEVELS DISPLAYED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE UWIC SQUASH CLUB THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE
Abstract
The aim of the research was to examine the participation and performance patterns of undergraduate students in the UWIC Squash Club. The sample consisted of the entire club, including: males [n=10] and females [n=5]. A mixed methodology was adopted. The initial stage required all subjects to complete a questionnaire. Six subjects (3 = Males / 3 = Females) were randomly selected to complete the interview process. The results suggested players were performing at a lower level since enrolling at UWIC. Themes which emerged from the interview process included: Balancing University & Training, Coaching, Motivation, Training / Influence of others, UWIC’s priorities towards participation and performance. These themes were specifically relevant to a university environment. A model was generated which attempted to mirror the performance patterns displayed by members of the UWIC Squash Club in the light of the questionnaire and interview results
