«After the sports career»

Andreas Küttel,

My Background

Ski jumping World Cup Tour 1995- 2011

Participated at 8 World Championships and 3 Olympics

FIS Athlete commission 2009- 2011

Sport studies at ETH Zurich with a MSc in 2005

I live in Denmark with my wife and my 4 year old son

Began with the doctoral research project last October at

the Southern University of Denmark (Odense)

Overview

Career transitions in sport

Reasons for athletic retirement

Consequences of the transition out of elite sport

Career Programs for athletes

Life after elite sport

Practical implications

My research project

Athletic career model (Wylleman et al. 2004)

Reasons of athletic retirement

Reasons of athletic retirement (Engel et al.

2014)

Vocational reasons (opportunity for a good job) 67%

Performance- related reasons 56%

Health- related reasons 50%

Environment-related reasons (conflict with coach) 40%

Family- related reasons 5% (Higher for women)

Financial- related reasons 5%

Voluntary vs. involuntary planned vs. unplanned

Locus of control is important!

What facilitates a successful transition?

Pre-retirement planning -> plans for life after elitesport

Personality/ (Athletic-) Identity and Coping- strategies

Social support and environment (family, coaches, teammates)

Education/ previous working experience

Network

Awarness and motivation to transfer skills to the new role

Transferable skills

Athlete Career Programs

Designed to develop social, eductional, and work-related

skills in elite athletes

Topics:

Counselling

Education management (Dual Career)

Career management (discuss opportunities in sport or in

other fields)

Job application skills/ job placement

Social/ networking skills

Pro-active retirement training

Life after the elite sport career

90% of the retired Swiss athletes judge their health

as good/ really good

Over 95 % are happy or really happy with their life

situation

85 % of the former athletes live in a stable

relationship and 25% are married and have

children

Only 3% are without a job (Engel et al.

2014)

Medals in sport- success in

business?

Former top-performance athletes display

generally higher educational certificates and

professional positions than the general

population

Many former athletes reach high positions in

different fields despite their delayed start in job-

life

Success (and popularity) in sport helps

especially in positions related to sport

Two sides of the medal…

Different types- different fitness for use

Kollege Spitzensportler. Chancen für Wirtschaft und Athleten (Schmidt

et al. 2013)

Type 1 (Maverick/ Individualist): high discipline, low

social competence/ Individual sport/ specialized expert

(27%)

Type 2 (Fighter): dominant, low interest in cooperation/

low education/ interims- manager (16%)

Type 3 (Teamplayer): lower discipline and dominance/

high cooperation/ female team players/ assistant of the

CEO (28%)

Type 4 (Allrounder): high discipline and performance

orientation, high social competence/ very high self-

confidence (Ex- Captains) / higher management

positions (29%)

Practical implications

For athletes

Actively search for dual career

opportunities

Raise awareness of your

situation among business- and

educational institution

Train situative behavior

Establish and use the contacts

from the business world

For employers

Build in flexibility in the

assessment process

Watch out for “insecure

overachievers”

Search for hidden strength and

assets in former elite athletes

My research

Study about retired elite athletes in Denmark, Poland

and Switzerland

Over 30 different federations involved

Influence of the support from the national sport

system (help for dual career, (financial-) athlete support,

availability for career assistance services) on the

transition out of sport and the life after elite sport

Which skills from sport are considered most helpful in

the current (job-)situation?

Differences between cultures and subcultures
