This is a concise and practical introduction to the topic of dual career athletes, those sportspeople who balance professional or elite sport with other career or educational pursuits. This book defines the concept of dual careers in sport and explores its significance for athletes, sports organizations, and wider society. It considers why dual careers are increasingly significant in contemporary sport and analyzes the role of sports organizations in supporting athletes’ dual career paths and implementing supportive measures. This book also offers practical tools and programs that sports organizations can use to develop effective policies toward dual careers and to facilitate the dual career development, helping both the athlete and the organization to perform at their best. This book is invaluable reading for any athlete, manager, policymaker, or researcher with an interest in dual careers, career transitions, athlete welfare, organizational behavior, sport management, or sport policy.
