“…In Uganda, academic and sports training are integrated, and this can be evidently seen from the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES). However, while combining academic and sports development is beneficial for athletes' development, the process can be very demanding, stressful and challenging (Asensio et al, 2023).…”

While combining academic and sports development is believed to provide opportunities that enable an individual to possess a better-balanced lifestyle, a stronger sense of self in areas other than sports, and greater life skills beyond their athletic career, the process is challenging and presents several barriers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of integrating students' career opportunities on dual career development among students with a careful interest in how dual careers have become a relevant matter in the world of work as one of the tools that can improve social life. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design with both qualitative and quantitative approaches in which a population involving headteachers, deputy headteachers, directors of studies, career guidance teachers, games teachers, sports officers, and students who have been involved in games and sports in the schools were targeted. The study used a sample of 186 people selected using purposive, simple random and cluster sampling techniques. A pre-tested, validated, self-administered questionnaire and interview guide were used to gather data. The findings of the study revealed that for integration of students' needs with careers and dual career development, R2 = .495, F=179.242, Sig= .000 < .05 for an academic career and R2 = .670, F=371.676, Sig= .000 < .05 for a sports career. The study concluded that the integration of students' needs with careers had a higher influence on sports than on academic career development. The study finally recommends that career teachers need to provide guidance tailored to the needs of each student to allow for the integration of student needs with career opportunities. Mass guidance to groups of students does not provide for the integration of individual needs

The article emphasizes the importance of the connection between sports and education for Latvian ice hockey players. The purpose of the study is to review theoretical findings and analyze the opportunities of competences development for athletes in Latvian hockey. The integration of sports and education, rooted in the rights to education and play, gives rise to the concept of Dual Career, fostering the holistic development of talented athletes. Article presents findings from a survey on dual career opportunities among Latvian ice hockey players, shedding light on competence development and perspectives regarding dual career pathways. Hockey players are interested in dual career development, but face obstacles due to limited support and insufficient cooperation between sports clubs, educational institutions, and the hockey federation. Respondents offered several suggestions for improving dual career opportunities, including increased government support, proactive engagement by national federations, and the creation of flexible schedules and online programs tailored to athletes’ needs. This study highlights the urgent need for comprehensive support mechanisms and collaborative efforts to facilitate successful dual career pursuits among hockey players in Latvia.
