Estrategias de entrada al mercado de trabajo de los atletas olímpicos. Una tipología

Abstract

El objetivo del siguiente artículo es establecer una tipología de inserción laboral en deportistas olímpicos. A partir la teoría de la elección racional y la teoría de la reproducción social, se condujo un cuestionario telefónico a una muestra de 94 deportistas (68 hombres y 26 mujeres). Mediante el procedimiento de conglomerados jeráquicos se identificaron cuatro grupos de deportistas: estrategas con vida paralela, estrategas por cuenta propia, deportistas para siempre y no estrategas; es un trabajo. Los resultados también muestran cómo a mayor capital cultural y económico de la familia se plantean mejor las estrategias y las posiciones alcanzadas por los deportistas en su segunda carrera son mejores. Estos resultados pueden servir para desarrollar y adaptar los programas de apoyo a los deportistas según su perfil.

The Employability Process of Spanish Retired Elite Athletes: Gender and Sport Success Comparison

“…However, reaching a satisfactory job position after an elite sport career could be seen as a matter of strategy [28]. Their study with a sample of Olympians from the Catalonia region showed how those athletes, known as the strategists, plan in advance, effectively combine their time for training and studies and preserve the social networks as a resource for the retirement process.…”

“…Among those athletes without higher education, the importance of preparing this transition in advance is reflected in their monthly income. This factor has been studied several times in relation to the quality of the retirement transition [19,20,24,25,28], but never related to monthly incomes after some time. Therefore, those athletes not aiming for higher education studies should plan their retirement.…”

Living Life Through Sport: The Transition of Elite Spanish Student-Athletes to a University Degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences

“…In recent years, there has been growing interest in the career transitions experienced by elite athletes at different moments and in different spheres of their lives, such as the transition from junior to senior competition (Chamorro et al, 2016;Torregrossa et al, 2016;Stambulova et al, 2017) and the transition from sport to an alternative career in the wider labor market (Torregrossa et al, 2015;Vilanova and Puig, 2017;Brown et al, 2018).…”
