The EU Guidelines on Dual Careers of Athletes address the challenges athletes face in balancing sports with education or employment. They recommend coordinated national policies involving sports organizations, educational institutions, and employers to support athletes' dual careers. Key areas include flexible education systems, career counseling, health services, and financial support. Implementing these guidelines aims to enhance athletes' personal development and career transitions. The guidelines serve as a non-binding framework for Member States to create supportive environments for athletes.
