dc.description.abstractElite female high school tennis players (n = 84), ages 13 to 19 years, responded to a questionnaire that examined the influences of the following role models: peers, media, mother, father, professional tennis players, coaches, significant others, Northern California Tennis Association, teachers, parents, and college. The dependent variable was Development and its sub-variables, Development Interest and Development Progress. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to analyze the possible correlations between the dependent variables and the independent variables. Significant positive correlations were found with eight independent variables to the dependent variable. Based upon the results of this study, there are a number of ways that the NCTA, Parents, Coaches, Peers, Colleges, and Teachers/Administrators might be able to more effectively fulfill their responsibilities to the well-being and development of Elite Girl High School Tennis Players.
