I would have studied while I showered’
Achieving athletic and educational goals, maintaining well-being, and leading a ‘balanced’ private life are key ambitions promoted in dual career policy. Yet, for young student-athletes, these holistic intentions are blurred by demands to train more, recover efficiently, and remain academically competitive. Drawing on Foucault's concept of power/knowledge and focus-group interviews with 25 student-athletes (aged 15–16), we examine the forms of kn…
Power, discourse, and practice
Norwegian lower secondary sports schools offer athlete development programmes that have a dual focus, both on the sports development and the education of student-athletes. Critical analysis of these programmes is vital given that such offerings are shaped by multiple power relations that have both positive and problematic consequences. This qualitative study set within the context of a Norwegian lower secondary sports school seeks to offer novel …
You can definitely tell she's truly committed
In this paper, we present how two female and one male student-athlete discursively construct and make sense of the "committed athlete", highlighting key shifts across transitions between school levels and high-performance sport environments. Applying a Foucauldian perspective on power/ knowledge and vignettes from follow-up interviews, this paper highlights the relational nature of commitment, showing how it is shaped by broader discourses and in…
Exploring Educational (Un)readiness Through the Concepts of Dispositive, Assemblage and Actor-network
Cooperation between schools and elite sports. How are schools affected from engaging in athletic talent development
In this article, we show how collaboration between Danish municipal primary and lower secondary schools (folkeskoler) and elite sports clubs to establish SportsClasses enables schools to set parameters that align student-athletes’ attitudes and behavior towards school and academic performance. Using neo-institutional theory, we show how two separate institutional domains – education and sport – come to agree on common purposes and practices for a…
Disassembling and Reassembling a Sports Talent
This article is rooted in an understanding of talent as something you do rather than something you either are or have. Talent is hereby seen as a phenomenon that comes into being through actions, rather than as an individualized, inherent capacity. Our perspective is informed by new materialist concepts that analyse talent development as an assemblage. Based on a case study focusing on Jamie, an injured badminton player, we argue that talent deve…
Reproduction and opportunity
In this article we analyze the patterns of retention in SportsClasses of promising young athletes in Denmark. Since 2005, SportsClasses have provided extra training for potential elite athletes in Grades 7-9 in designated Danish public schools. They were introduced after the Danish Ministry of Culture lowered the age of recruitment for athletes from 15 to 12 in response to increased competition in the world of elite sports. The SportsClasses atte…
Et helt normalt perfekt selv. Konstruktioner af selvet i unges beretninger om mistrivsel
Ungdomsforskningen har længe været optaget af spørgsmål, der vedrører unges identitetsdannelse. De seneste årtier har denne optagethed fået næring fra en række dagsordensættende samfundsvidenskabelige teorier, som har udvist en betydelig interesse for at udforske selvet, der tilsyneladende er blevet destabiliseret, rekonstrueret og rehabiliteret i en uendelighed. Selvet synes at have fået status som en slags prisme, som de samfundsvidenskabelige …
How to stay becoming – living up to the code of conduct in a sports class
In this article we show how a hybridisation of elite sport and school in lower-secondary education in Denmark produces a particular kind of learning subject with dual tracks for development, and we ask what kind of actions the students apply in order to stay becoming along both tracks. We apply theoretical conceptions of ‘becoming’ inspired by Brembeck and Johansson that allow us to understand how the sports students live up to the code of conduc…
