Aspiring Athletes and Parents |
|
The University of Western Australia are looking for aspiring athletes (high school ages 15-18 years) and parents of aspiring athletes, to take part in a 30-45 minute interview. This study aims to improve the support for aspiring athletes pursuing their sporting aspirations whilst managing other meaningful aspects of their life.
These interviews will be conducted separately and do not require both a parent and their child to participate—each can take part independently. Parent consent will be required for athletes under 18 years of age. |
