This podium session is aimed to promote the FEPSAC Position Statement (PS) on athletes’ dual careers (DCs) in the European context (Stambulova et al., 2024) and engage the author team into discussion on how to proceed with further development of the European DC discourse. The authors of the PS summarized current knowledge about European athletes’ DCs, and, on behalf of FEPSAC, proposed recommendations for DC research, practice, and policy. Central idea of the PS is supporting athletes’ striving for DC excellence (i.e., sustaining a healthy, successful, and long-lasting career in sport in combination with education and/or work). Based on four recent DC review papers (e.g., Kegelaers et al., 2022) and four European ERASMUS + Sport projects (e.g., Gold in Education and Elite Sport, Be a Winner In elite Sport and Employment before and after athletic Retirement, Ecology of DC, and DCs for Mental Health) seven postulates were created on DC: (1) context, (2) pathways and transitions, (3) challenges, (4) resources and coping, (5) support and empowerment, (6) mental health of student–athletes, and (7) DC development environments. Further, a set of recommendations for development of the European DC discourse in terms of research, practice, and policy was provided to stimulate cooperation between DC stakeholders on the European and national levels. The session organizers will facilitate a presentation of the PS findings, and moderate discussions among panelists on research, practice, and policy recommendations. For instance, they will explore which recommendations resonate the most with their research/ practice experiences? how can we proceed with a legal status of DC support providers? what are the barriers to create national DC Guidelines? how do we see the role of FEPSAC in the update of the European DC Guidelines? Contributions from the audience will be welcomed, and the podium’s conclusions delivered to the FEPSAC Managing Council.
