“…The model is inspired by the cultural praxis of athletes' careers paradigm (Stambulova & Ryba, 2013, 2014 and recommendations of the EU Guidelines on Dual Careers of Athletes (2012); it is also based on the developmental model of transitions faced by athletes (Wylleman & Lavallee, 2004). More specifically, the model aligns stages in Swedish educational system with related age markers and stages in athletic as well as vocational careers, showing possible dual career pathways during and right after termination in sports with arrows indicating dual career transitions.…”

“…Analysis of career research in 19 countries around the world undertaken in the recent book "Athletes' careers across cultures" and a critical review of international career research through the cultural lens (Stambulova & Ryba, 2013, 2014 led the authors to formulate a cultural praxis of athletes' careers paradigm as a set of six major challenges for the future career projects. Among them the two challenges e a holistic perspective (i.e., combining a whole person, a whole career, a whole environment approaches) and careful positioning of the projects in relevant socio-cultural contexts e are of particular importance for the dual career research to avoid narrow focused (e.g., only on student-athletes' athletic identity) and culture blind projects.…”

“…In most sports, the transition from junior level to senior level begins at ages 16-18, which has been reported as highly stressful time for athletes (Stambulova & Wylleman, 2015). At the same time, the athlete's educational transition into high school takes place, which, in turn, has been shown to be a critical period in terms of burning out in school (Salmela-Aro & Näätänen, 2005).…”

Coaches are important socializing agents for youth athletes (Horn, 2008) and coach-created motivational climates have been found to be associated with athletes' welland ill-being (Bartholomew, Ntoumanis, & Thogersen-Ntoumani, 2010;Kipp & Weiss, 2013). The purpose of this study was to investigate (1) what kind of coaching climates can be found in sport high schools in Finland; and (2) how these coaching climates are related to student-athletes' burnout in school and in sports. Moreover, interaction effects between the coaching climates and background variables in burnout were investigated.

“…in Psychology of Sport and Exercise Special Issue on athletes' DC development and transitions (Stambulova & Wylleman, 2015) and the recent review paper (Stambulova & Wylleman, 2019). Current research into athletes' DCs shows that a DC engagement carries benefits, but also challenges and potential costs (see EU guidelines, 2012, for a review), and that one key aspect might be to optimise student-athletes' competences so that they can successfully manage their challenges (e.g.…”

The paper presents the Swedish data on university student-athletes' dual career (DC) competences and coping, from the European project "Gold in Education and Elite Sport" (GEES). A cross-sectional quantitative design was implemented with the objectives to explore: (a) the student-athletes' perceived need to develop DC competences in order to successfully combine sport and study, (b) if the student-athletes experienced and how they coped with specific DC scenarios, and (c) the magnitude of the association between the student-athletes' possession of prioritised DC competences for each scenario and their scenario-specific coping. Seventy-one university student-athletes with a mean age of 25.21 completed the DC competency questionnaires developed within GEES. The student-athletes reported their perception of importance and possession of 38 DC competences (e.g. cope with stress, prioritising), as well as coping with seven DC scenarios (e.g. miss significant days of study), and selected the five most important competences (from the list of 38) to cope with each scenario. The results revealed that the student-athletes: (a) perceived a need to develop more than 70% of the DC competences to successfully combine sport and studies, (b) had experienced and coped average-to-good with the DC scenarios, and (c) possession of the top five prioritised competences was moderately-to-strongly related to their coping in three scenarios. The study extends understanding of Swedish university student-athletes' DC competences and has contributed to the development of Swedish National Guidelines for elite athletes' dual careers (2018).
