Abstract

Success in tennis is based on a combination of different social (e.g. parents, coach) and individual (e.g. training, genetics) factors. To date French tennis has no tool to evaluate the role of parents. In order to fill in this gap in the literature, the present study puts forward the creation and validation of a Parental Involvement Questionnaire (PIQ) measuring the three aspects of long term parental support: their logistical involvement (transport), their emotional involvement (encouragement) and their informational involvement (advice).
