Being in the right place at the right time. Resources and barriers in the transition from youth to senior in a Danish elite football
This instrumental case study investigated the internal and external resources and barriers in football players` transition from junior to senior in an elite football club. Data was gathered through interviews with two coaches and five players who recently had transitioned from youth to senior elite level. Thematic analysis uncovered specific intrapersonal and environmental resources and/or barriers. The findings suggest that football clubs need to both psychologically educate and prepare youth players to the transition, but also the youth players` near and professional relations in the transition from junior to senior level.
