2007 – Transition from a sporting career to a new life

Description

The objective of the “Plan B Consultant Program is to connect the existing career transition programs with athletes in a better manner. It aims to use the best practices from other programs, while closing the gap between the active athletes and their first step towards participating in those transition programs. A specialised education should be provided for professionals from a tailored background by implementing a certification degree at the National level. Those consultants should guide athletes within a specific region by supporting them just like physicians in their teams during their sporting career. In this way there is a maximum chance to get to know them, use the knowledge learned in the Plan B consultant course and prepare and assist them during transition in order to have a smooth landing from elite sport into normal life.
