This presentation will be focused on the most recent trends in career and talent development research in sport psychology with further elaboration on how this emerging knowledge might contribute to our understanding of career and talent development process in football. First, the junior-to-senior transition as a key transition within careers of the players who aspire to play on the elite/professional level will be considered as a process having a phase like temporal structure (e.g., preparation, orientation, adaptation and stabilization) based on the studies conducted in Sweden and the United Kingdom. Second, a dual career in football (i.e., combination of sport and education) will be considered on the example of Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian studies adopting the holistic lifespan perspective and emphasizing how players might search for an optimal balance between the two careers and relevant athletic and student identities. Third, the dual career will be considered from the holistic ecological perspective that is with a focus on players’ social environment and relevant organizational cultures facilitating dual careers on the example of Norwegian and Australian studies. Fourth, the emerging area of cultural transitions and their significance for global football context will be discussed with references to studies/reviews conducted in Finland, Denmark, Brazil, and Spain. Future directions of psychological career/talent development research in relation to football context will be outlined and further complemented by ideas for practical implications (e.g., psychological support in the junior-to-senior transition, dual career support services, and psychological support in cultural transitions).
