Abstract
Description
The topic of student-athletes’ dual career has been gaining a burgeoning interest in the European athletic career research but in Bulgaria it still does not enjoy any considerable institutional and academic attention. Given the relevance of the topic, the current study aims at examining the attitudes and experiences of 58 student-athletes pursuing dual career at the University of National and World Economy. The research design encompasses seven main themes related to the student-athletes’ dual career in a university environment identified from an overview of the existing literature. These were operationalised into a special for the purpose questionnaire. The results derived could serve developing further policies and practices by the university in supporting student-athletes’ dual career.
