ATHLETES

The athletes often face challenges to combine their sporting careers with education or work. "Dual career" arrangements are beneficial for athletes' sporting careers, allow training or work, encourage them to reach a new career after a sporting career, and protect the position of athletes... High-performance athletes have a significant role in their own society and also it is important to develop their skills as investors and business mentors. Since technology-oriented entrepreneurship is a relatively new research and education field in sport, the structured course curriculums that can be used by sports organizations, universities, career experts and educators to support the dual careers of elite athletes cannot adequately meet the needs of them.
