Zehn Leben in einem Leben“ – eine qualitative Untersuchung der Berufsbiografien zeitgenössischer Tänzer
Freelance dancers work in a field that requires extraordinary creativity and performance. However, it is also characterized by project-based work with a high degree of uncertainty. This tension raises the question of how dancers position themselves in this field of work and how their professional biographies develop. We examined the professional biographies of six freelance contemporary dancers using biographical interviews and timeline drawing. …
Investigating Qualification and Professional Career Pathways of Women Coaches in High-Performance Sports
High-performance coaching is a deeply gendered field of work. Despite international and national efforts, women are still systematically underrepresented in coach education and in leadership positions. For example, at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, only 13% of the accredited coaches were women. While there is substantial international research on gender inequality in high-performance coaching, in-depth knowledge on the current qualification and…
Zur Ambivalenz biografischer Krisen
Dieser Beitrag verfolgt ein dreifaches Ziel: Erstens wird der Begriff der Krise soziologisch gefasst. Im Rückgriff auf einschlägige Vorarbeiten werden fünf Schlüsselaspekte herausgearbeitet, die verdeutlichen, dass Krisen aus soziologischer Perspektive vielschichtige und mehrfach ambivalente soziale Phänomene sind, die kaum eindeutig definierbar sind. Zweitens werden Krisen, Deutungs- und Bewältigungspraktiken sowie Auswirkungen auf die Biografie…
Gender (in)equality in Sports Journalism – A Systematic Scoping Review
Sports journalism reflects and reinforces broader societal gender norms, with newsrooms remaining male-dominated despite more women entering the profession of (sports) journalism. This systematic scoping review synthesizes two decades (2003-2023) of empirical research on gender (in)equality in sports journalism. Following Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, 1148 records were found across four databases, and 29 empirical peer-reviewed journal article…
Sustainable Elite Youth Sports
Sports have been identified as an important contributor to social sustainability, and the benefits for health, well‐being, and social learning in young people are well evidenced. Youth elite sports, however, have been criticized as being unsustainable. Following calls for a more socially sustainable development of youth elite sports, research on the topic has increased. However, studies vary in disciplinary origin, concepts, content, and methodol…

Balancing risk-taking and self-care
Athletes who aim to qualify for the Olympic Games need to stay healthy. Research demonstrates, however, that many elite athletes take health risks to achieve sporting success. Drawing on social ecological thinking, the purpose of this study is to understand change in athlete health behaviour during the Olympic Games qualification phase. We draw on data from a six-month-long case study on four athletes who aimed to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Gam…
Moving Away
Migration experiences are common for athletes, especially in team sports. Moving from home to a recruiting sport club has become an indispensable career investment. This is also the case in Brazilian futsal, where many developing players move to more promising clubs within the country. This process is often challenging, but little researched. The purpose of this article is to investigate 13 Brazilian men elite futsal players' intra-national migra…
From soccer to futsal
Many Brazilian boys dream of a professional soccer career. During adolescence, however, many players move into futsal, a popular, less professionalized counterpart to soccer. To study players’ investment in a futsal career, this article aimed to understand how childhood socialization relates to players’ career development; to reconstruct the pathways players developed to become elite futsal athletes; and to identify reasons that led players to mo…
An elite athlete’s storying of injuries and non-qualification for an Olympic Games
In this article, we present and examine the case of one elite athlete – 28-year old Mark (pseudonym), who during a 10-month lead-up to the 2016 Rio OG qualification deadline, aimed to achieve his NGB/NOC's qualification standards, but sustained several injuries and was forced to give up his qualification attempt. Adopting a socio-narratological framework, we aim to understand how Mark storied the qualification period; how socio-cultural, organisa…
Researching health behaviour in 'real time
In this article, we share our experience of navigating qualitative longitudinal research with a 'hard to recruit' population. To detail design conception, methodological challenges and insights, we draw on the case of a 1-year-long study on health behaviour in Olympic hopefuls. In order to accompany 12 athletes who aimed to qualify for either an Olympic Games (n = 10) or a World Championship (n = 2), we developed and implemented a career backgrou…
Drawing Careers
Narrative interviews are the methodological gold standard for biographical research. To facilitate memory work in interviewees, qualitative researchers increasingly fuse interviewing with visual elicitation strategies. In this article, we advance the integration of methods by introducing a graphic elicitation strategy that allows interviewees to map biographical developments and critical health experiences, in addition to verbalizing them. The bi…
The Role of Setting in the Field
The last decade has seen an increase in the age of elite women's gymnasts. This article examines the older gymnastic body within the field of elite women's gymnastics, and how gymnasts, over the age of 20, and their coaches and judges, reconstruct the field in interview accounts. While participants contested the value of differently aged and sized bodies, they also made distinctions between the capitals that were valuable in different settings su…
Growing up and speaking out
This research examines the experiences of ‘older’ elite gymnasts competing in Women's Artistic Gymnastics in Australia, through the framework of athlete rights. Using a qualitative approach interviews were conducted with elite or former elite gymnasts who were at least 20 years old during their active career, and coaches and judges who worked with such athletes. This paper focuses on three key themes that emerged from the data. First was the rela…
How Much Is Too Much?' The Social Construction of Elite Youth Athlete Exercise Tolerances From the Coaches' Perspective
Coaches are key actors in youth elite sport. As such, they are regularly confronted with professional problems that are both complex and highly consequential. Herein, we address one fundamental coaching problem: the definition of athletes' exercise tolerance levels. Drawing on the sociology of knowledge, we focus on coaches' conceptions of exercise tolerance and the sociocultural framing of their reflections. The qualitative analyses of 16 interv…
Coping With Growth in Adolescent Elite Sport
Growing up in elite sport represents a challenging project. Young athletes must negotiate a career-defining transitional period while in the midst of adolescence. In this context, notably, the growth process can lead to health problems such as overloading and injuries. In this article, we investigate how adolescent elite athletes cope with problematic growth experiences. Taking a Bourdieusian perspective, we consider coping to be a socioculturall…
Wachstum als Krisenpotenzial im Nachwuchsleistungssport – Genese und Konstruktion von Wachstumsproblemen jugendlicher Nachwuchsathleten aus soziologischer Perspektive / Growth as Crisis Potential in E…
Nachwuchsathleten befinden sich in einer Lebensphase, die durch erhebliche soziale, psychische und physiologische Veränderungen charakterisiert ist. Diese Transformationen beeinflussen die sportliche Karriere und die Entwicklung der Athleten grundlegend. Gerade im Spitzensport kann insbesondere der Wachstumsprozess zu spezifischen, bisher in der soziologischen Forschung weitgehend vernachlässigten Problemlagen führen. Der Artikel untersucht Entst…
