Closing a chapter? A protocol for a longitudinal mixed methods study on retirement from elite sport
Retirement from elite sport represents a major life transition for athletes and requires them to redefine their central life projects, identities, and perhaps even sources of meaning in life. Although an extensive body of literature has identified risk and protective factors in career termination, little is known about the more subjective processes and individual pathways of athletes as they establish their new relationship with work-life and spo…
Beyond the final whistle
The present study surveyed 57 retired female soccer national team players to examine their athletic, educational, and vocational careers. The respondents achieved higher educational degrees compared to the general population. Contrasted with their siblings, no difference was found in school-leaving certificates and occupational prestige. Using cluster analysis, the following three clusters were found: (1) highly educated employees working in spor…
Linking sports-related and socio-economic resources of retiring Olympic athletes to their subsequent vocational career
The aim of this study was to examine patterns of sports-related and socio-economic resources at the time of athletic retirement and their relation to the subsequent vocational career. We surveyed 341 former Olympic athletes representing Switzerland about their athletic, educational, and vocational careers. In order to adequately depict the heterogeneous situations of athletes during and after their athletic career, we applied a person-oriented ap…
Stability of context in sport and exercise across educational transitions in adolescence
Knowledge about the stability and change of context patterns can be used to make recommendations for policy strategies and to develop more individually-tailored promotion programs
Vocational careers of retired Olympic athletes from Switzerland
For many high-performance athletes, competing in the Olympic Games is a major goal. Achieving this goal requires more than ever substantial investments of time and personal resources towards the sports career over several years. Thus, some athletes neglect other areas of life (e.g. education), which can pose a problem for the time after high-performance sport, while other athletes pursue a dual career. Previous studies have shown that former high…
Within-Person Variation of Affective Well-Being during and after Exercise
Affective well-being is positively linked to regular exercise. Therefore, it is important to identify the factors that influence intra-individual variability of affective well-being. This study investigated (1) whether affective responses vary within an individual and (2) how affective responses are associated with a motive-incentive fit and a skill-task fit. A total of 107 adults (66% females, M age = 41.79 years old, 58% doing no exercise) took…
Promoting schoolchildren’s self-esteem in physical education
Background: Schoolchildren’s personality development is considered a central goal of physical education (PE). With regard to the relationship between psychological well-being and global self-esteem over the life course, the promotion of positive self-esteem is an issue of particular significance. Past research revealed that PE taught with an individualized teacher frame of reference (iTFR) and a reflexive teaching style is associated with positiv…
The interaction of behavioral context and motivational-volitional factors for exercise and sport in adolescence
Applying a person-oriented approach allows a more differentiated view of how behavioral context and motivational-volitional factors interact within homogenous subgroups. This, in turn, provides a basis to design tailored multilevel interventions which account for the interaction of influencing factors across different levels
A classroom intervention to improve executive functions in late primary school children
BACKGROUND: Given the strong relationship between executive functions and academic achievement, there has been great interest in improving executive functions. School-based group interventions targeting executive functions revealed encouraging results in preschoolers and young school children; however, there is a paucity of studies in older primary school children (age 10-12). This is surprising considering that deficits in executive function per…
Die Implementation einer Intervention zur Veränderung des Selbstkonzepts im Sportunterricht
Bei Studien zur Selbstkonzeptentwicklung fehlt meist der Hinweis auf die Programmumsetzung oder Implementation. Diesem Defizit der Implementationskontrolle nimmt sich die vorliegende Studie an und befasst sich mit der Messung und Erklärung der Implementationshäufigkeit im Rahmen einer Intervention zu Selbstkonzept förderndem Sportunterricht (NLehrer = 16, NSchüler = 309). Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Lehrpersonen eine individuumsorientierte, refle…
National youth team football players between the conflicting priorities of sports success and vocational training
In view of the risks involved in relying on a professional career in football as a way of making a future living, most players of Swiss national youth football teams pursue some form of vocational training at the same time. This paper investigates the question under what conditions a successful football career is possible when faced with such a dual burden. In order to examine the development process as holistically as possible, a person-oriented…
Promoting a functional physical self-concept in physical education
Most physical education intervention studies on the positive effect of sports on self-concept development have attempted to increase schoolchildren’s self-concept without taking the veridicality of the self-concept into account. The present study investigated whether a 10-week intervention in physical education would lead to an increase not only in the general level of self-concept of endurance and self-concept of strength but also in its veridic…
Zum Einfluss der Hochleistungssport-Karriere auf die Berufskarriere – Chancen und Risiken / The Influence of a High-Performance Career on the Occupational Career – Chances and Risks
Eine Karriere im Hochleistungssport ist mit hohen zeitlichen Belastungen verbunden. Da die Spitzensport- Karriere lebenszeitlich beschränkt ist und in der Regel in der vierten Lebensdekade beendet wird, stellt sich die Frage nach den Auswirkungen eines Engagements im Hochleistungssport auf die Berufskarriere. Hierzu wurden im Rahmen einer quantitativ orientierten Kohortenanalyse ehemalige Spitzensportler zu ihrem beruflichen Werdegang und möglich…
Professional Careers of the German Olympic Athletes
Successful careers in top-performance sports demand large amounts of time and personal resources and normally they take a course parallel to the period of educational and professional qualification. Regarding careers of former top-performance athletes, the question arises as to how far the engagement in top-performance sports has an influence on the professional career path. This article aims to categorize the professional careers of top-performa…
