Interview with Harriet Dart

Harriet Dart is a current British Tennis Player, that I got the opportunity to ask questions to about tennis and get her opinions on the apparel. I'm very appreciative of the help I have received from her and has helped me think of new ideas for my project.

How long have you been playing tennis?

Since I was 7 I’ve been playing.

Do you go to the gym to train? What for (e.g stamina)?

Yes I go to the gym, mixture as tennis requires many things, speed agility, core, endurance, weights, circuit training.

If yes, do you wear the same apparel as you would for tennis?

Depends what gym sessions I do to what I wear for example on the bike I’ll wear long leggings as it’s more comfortable then being in shorts.

What court of you prefer to play on and why?

I love grass season purely for the British support and crowd and Wimbledon!

How would you describe your own personal fashion style?

I’m a whacky kind of person and love to be quite out there so I’ll wear stuff some people wouldn’t wear!

Is there any areas on the body that get affected the most when you play?

With tennis you use your whole body so it’s not just one thing you use.

Do you have any ideas for how the apparel could be adapted for your performance?

Thinner material is better that’s breathable as when you sweat you don’t want something too heavy or thick because it becomes a distraction when you play!
