Abstract
Ending elite sport is a problem to cope with for many athletes (Grove, Lavallee, & Gordon, 1997). The reason why is the shift from a non-ordinary life, such as the one that athletes use to live in during the sport career, to another one, such as ordinary life. It may cause different forms of emotional discomfort related to a deep change, not only in lifestyle but also in personal, social, and financial factors. The motives are related to the re-configuration of identity, which often represents as dramatic for all the individuals who, by changing their role, have the necessity to restructure their personal identity all-round.File in questo prodotto:
