GEES Handbook for Dual Career Support Providers (DCSPs)

Source

One of the main challenges athletes face is combining education and high-level sport (EU Guidelines on Dual Careers of Athletes, 2012). In order to assist 15 to 25-year-old athletes preparing to achieve a successful dual career `education and elite sport` pathway, and to assist dual career support providers with a view of optimizing the quality of their support and initiating new sustainable services, the `Gold in Education and Elite Sport` (GEES) project was initiated in 2015. This 2-year project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Sport programme of the European Commission, brought together a consortium of 40 internationally renowned dual career researchers and expert practitioners from 17 research and elite sport institutions (e.g. universities, NOCs, sport governing bodies, high performance centres) from 9 EU Member states (Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the UK).
