Dual_Career_Development_Perspective_Factors_Affect

Description

The document examines the challenges Olympic athletes face in transitioning to careers after retirement from sports. It highlights that despite having a solid educational background, many athletes struggle to secure successful post-sport employment. The study identifies key factors affecting career transition quality, including education levels, financial support, and employment opportunities, particularly in public administration. Using a sample of Slovenian elite and Olympic athletes, the research underscores the importance of dual career (DC) support mechanisms, such as scholarships and job placement programs, to enhance athletes' long-term career prospects. The findings emphasize the need for tailored support systems to facilitate smoother transitions and ensure athletes achieve sustainable post-sport careers.
