What sort of factors affect the post-athlete transition and coping process (e.g. gender, type of sport, how a career ends)? What initiatives can individuals and organizations implement to both prepare athletes for and support them in retirement? For 25 years, Professor David Lavallee has focused on self-identity and coping processes in sport. Lavalle, who has studied over 15,000 athletes, is perhaps the world’s leading expert on retirement from sport and managing transitions across the career of athletes and coaches. Today, he shares his research with Run Along. Listen now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
