Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello Ladies ranked in the top 10 on the NASGA website,

I hope you have all had a successful season thus far. As some of
you already know, I am a graduate student at the University of Windsor in
Kinesiology (Canada). I am conducting my thesis on women’s involvement in
Highland Games Heavy Events and would love to hear about your experiences.

The purpose of my thesis is to learn about the experiences of
female competitors in Heavy Events and the role of Athletic Directors in
facilitating this event. I would like to set up an interview with you to talk
about your experiences and learn what strengths you have use(d) over the years
to enhance yourselves and the world of Heavy Events as well as your hopes for
this event in the future. The interview will take place over the phone and will
last about one hour. 

Please take the time to read the attached letter of information.
It contains specific details regarding my research project. This research has received clearance by
the University of Windsor Research Ethics Board.

Let me know if you can help out with my study. Feel free to
contact me via telephone or email at any time. 

I think this
project will be a fun and informative experience.

Thank you for
your time,

Celine Freeman-Gibb
BHK, B.Ed, MHK Candidate

	you might go to facebook and search highland games. there you'll find regional clubs to post this question and you might get some more involvement. just an idea, if you haven't already done it.
