Abstract

Young and qualified individuals must have a broad understanding of their careers to have a healthy process. Recently, there has been a dual career approach, which is a layered structure that focuses on the development of the individual in the long term rather than a career that focuses on a single profession. While a dual career requires particular expertise and experience in both professions, this approach offers status, title, and career paths in different fields. Some of the individuals who pursue both their education and career with this approach are athletes. Student-athletes who continue their sports career and education life simultaneously carry out various responsibilities such as intensive training and game programs and camps, participating in the school team, and trying to achieve academic success. Although it varies according to sports disciplines, the sports career continues until a certain age due to biological factors, and the presence of a constant risk of injury increases the importance of a dual career for life after sports.

Sporda çift yönlü kariyer

Abstract

Genç ve nitelikli bireylerin, kariyerleriyle ilgili geniş bir anlayışa sahip olmaları sağlıklı bir süreç geçirilmesi açısından önemlidir. Son dönemde sadece tek bir mesleğe yönelimin yer aldığı kariyer olgusundan çok uzun vadede bireyin gelişimine odaklı bir şekilde katmanlı bir yapı olarak karşımıza çıkan çift yönlü kariyer yaklaşımına rastlanmaktadır. Çift yönlü kariyer, her iki meslek alanında özel uzmanlık ve deneyim gerektirirken, bu yaklaşımın bireye farklı alanlarda statü, unvan ve kariyer yolları sunmaktadır. Bu yaklaşımla hem eğitim hayatını hem de kariyerini sürdüren bireylerin bir bölümünü de sporcular oluşturmaktadır. Hem spor kariyeri hem de eğitim hayatı devam eden öğrenci sporcular akademik başarı elde etmeye çalışmanın yanı sıra yoğun antrenman ve maç programları, kamplar ve okul takımında yer alma gibi çeşitli sorumlulukları eş zamanlı olarak yürütmektedir. Spor dallarına göre değişiklik göstermekle birlikte, hem biyolojik faktörlerin etkisiyle spor kariyerinin belli bir yaşa kadar devam etmesi, hem de sürekli bir sakatlık riskinin varlığı, çift yönlü kariyerin spor sonrası yaşam için önemini artırmaktadır.
