About this title

Review:

"A unique and coherent collection of state-of-the art expertise from around the world, Athletes’ Careers Across Cultures is a milestone text and a scientific breakthrough in the study of careers in sport psychology." - Sidónio Serpa, President of International Society of Sport Psychology

"In Athlete’s careers across cultures Natalia Stambulova and Tatiana Ryba have brought together the leading experts from around the world in what is the most comprehensive and complete work on issues involved in athlete career development. Topics discussed include early career and talent development, sport specialization, elite athlete career issues, athletic retirement and career assistance programs. Looking across cultures allows the authors to not only derive general principles of career development, but at the same time demonstrate how the application of these principles is shaped by cultural forces. This book is a must read for anyone interested in athlete career development." - Daniel Gould, Professor and Director, Institute for the Study of Youth Sports, Michigan State University,
