Developing 'whole people'
The purpose of this current study was to explore how a whole person approach was conceptualised and supported within a sports-friendly school in the United Kingdom. A holistic, single case study methodology was used. Data collection occurred over an eleven-month period through observations, informal conversations, and semi-structured interviews with 64 individuals (37 males, 27 females). Data were analysed following guidance by Miles, Huberman, a…
The high-performance sport environment
Talent development and dual career literature have drawn attention to the importance of the environment in athlete development and highlighted that certain types of environments are more successful at supporting athletes to develop and perform. No such literature exists at the elite level, and it remains unclear how high-performance sport environments (HPSEs) can foster both the current and future capacities of athletes while simultaneously striv…
Threatening and nurturing mental health
IntroductionNumerous factors have been identified that potentially influence athletes' mental health. Given the predominant focus in the literature on athletes' mental health risk factors, our study aimed to explore elite athletes' perceptions of factors associated with their mental health and thriving based on the combination of holistic developmental and ecological approaches.MethodsSeven Danish international elite athletes representing diverse…
The social environment of talent development in youth sport
During the last decade, talent identification and development research that favours an individual perspective has been complemented by a focus on young athletes' social environments, termed "athletic talent development environments" (ATDEs). Two major lines of research have created a foundation for an ecological vision of talent development as the mutual accommodation between athletes and their ATDEs and of career development as an athlete's jour…
Career development and transitions of athletes
This paper is a comprehensive update of the International Society of Sport Psychology (ISSP) Position Stand on career development and transitions of athletes issued a decade ago (Stambulova, Alfermann, Statler, & Côté, 2009, ISSP Position Stand: Career development and transitions of athletes. International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, 7, 395–412.). A need for updating the 2009 Position Stand has grown out of the increasing inconsiste…
Sink or swim
The objective of this study was to explore the career narratives of professional athletes from underserved communities in the United States. Two African American athletes (named Marcus and Imari for the study), who both met the criteria of playing at least one year in a professional league and spending their formative years in an underserved community, participated in this study. Life story interviews lasting about two hours were explored through…
The Olympic Games
As a multi-sport event that only takes place every four years and is accompanied by intense media coverage, the Olympic Games are often described by athletes as a defining moment in their careers. The objectives of the present study were: 1) to describe differences in expectations of Olympic debutants towards the Olympics and their actual experiences while they were at the Games; and 2) to describe how the athletes negotiate the balance between p…
