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.

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…

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…
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…
Intergenerational transfer of a sports-related lifestyle within the family
The intergenerational transfer of a sports-related lifestyle within the family is a potential way to explain the social differences in sports participation that are displayed by young people. In this article, the importance of a sports-related lifestyle within the family, as well as parents' educational background and sports participation in childhood, in the sports participation of adolescents and young adults is examined from the perspective of…
