| Abstract | "This is a concise and practical introduction to the topic of dual career athletes, those sportspeople who balance professional or elite sport with other career or educational pursuits. The book defines the concept of dual careers in sport and explores its significance for athletes, sports organisations and wider society. It considers why dual careers are increasingly significant in contemporary sport, and it analyses the role of sports organisations in supporting athletes' dual career paths and in implementing supportive measures. The book also offers practical tools and programs that sports organisations can use to develop effective policies towards dual careers and to facilitate dual career development, helping both the athlete and the organisation to perform at their best. This book is invaluable reading for any athlete, manager, policymaker or researcher with an interest in dual careers, career transitions, athlete welfare, organisational behaviour, sport management or sport policy"-- Provided by publisher. |
