“…The participants completed a battery of questionnaires during class hours four times: at the beginning of their first year in upper secondary sport school (T1); six months later at the end of the first school year (T2); one year later at the end of the second school year (T3); and, finally, six months later in the beginning of the third school year (T4). The reason for selecting these measuring times was that the first year of upper secondary school is the transition year during which many developmental changes are likely to take place (eg, increased burnout due to increased demands of the transition) . Consequently, burnout was measured twice during the first school year.…”

“…Upper secondary school may be particularly pressuring time for talented young athletes. At the same time as athletes often transit to adult sport, which may be one of the most challenging times in career, young athletes face the increasing demands of upper secondary school . Taken this into account, it is not surprising that some student‐athletes show sport and school burnout symptoms, such as emotional and physiological exhaustion, cynicism, and feelings of inadequacy, already in the beginning of upper secondary school and that the symptoms increase over time .…”

Although it has been shown that student‐athletes who pursue upper secondary school alongside with an athletic career may be prone to sport and school burnout, the concrete life changes resulting from burning out, such as dropping out of sport or school, have not been investigated. Moreover, it is unknown why some student‐athletes do not burnout. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether there are different kinds of profiles—based on the level and development of sport and school burnout symptoms across upper secondary school—that can be identified among student‐athletes and how resilience and the likelihood of dropping out from sport or school differ between the profiles. The sample consisted of 491 (49% females) Finnish student‐athletes who filled in questionnaires four times during the three years of upper secondary school. The data were analyzed by using growth mixture modeling. Three burnout profiles were identified: (a) Average profile, (b) Increased burnout profile, and (c) Non‐risk profile. The profiles differed significantly in terms of student‐athletes’ resilience and the likelihood of dropping out, as those in the Increased burnout group symptoms were less resilient and more likely to dropout from sport than those in the other two groups. Furthermore, those in the Non‐risk profile were more resilient than athletes in the other two groups. The results can be used in teaching student‐athletes resilience‐related skills which can prevent them from burning out and dropping out from sport and school.

“…Too little emphasis on alternative role identities, to the detriment of the athlete role, may however encourage the development of a unidimensional identity, often associated with negative impacts on an athlete’s well-being 129. Elite athletes with strong and exclusively athletic identities risk the possibility of their self-worth and esteem becoming dependent on athletic performance 130. Subsequently, if performance falls below perceived expectations, an athlete’s feelings of self-worth may be threatened 131.…”

This article presents a current review of the risk of physical and psychological injury associated with participation in elite youth sport, and suggests strategies to ensure the physical and emotional health of these young athletes. Although there is lack of epidemiological data, especially with regard to psychological injury, preliminary data suggest that the risk of injury is high in this population. While there is lack of incident and follow-up data, there is also concern regarding burnout, disordered eating, and the long-term consequences of injury. Modifiable injury risk factors identified include postural control, competition anxiety, life events, previous injury, and volume of training. There are presently no studies designed to determine the effectiveness of injury prevention measures in elite youth sports. However, there is adequate evidence arising from injury prevention studies of youth sports participants – including neuromuscular training, protective equipment, mental training to enhance self-esteem, and sport rules modification – to prevent injuries in elite youth sports settings. Although not tested, psychosocial prevention strategies such as adoption of task-oriented coping mechanisms, autonomous support from parents, and a proactive organizational approach also show promise in injury prevention.

“…Ryba et al (2016) showed that future goals and life aspirations help adolescent to cope with challenge related to a dual career pathway, and Nurmi, Salmela-Aro, and Koivisto (2002) found that positive future orientation was related to young adults' success in finding a job after graduation from vocational school.…”

The study is aimed at providing the development and initial validation of the Design My Future (DMF), which may be administered in career counseling and research activities to assess adolescents' future orientation and resilience. Two studies with two independent samples of Italian adolescents were conducted to examine psychometric requisites of DMF. Specifically, in the first study, after developing items and examined the content validity, the factorial structure, reliability and discriminant validity of the DMF were tested. In the second study, the measurement invariance across gender, conducing a sequence of nested CFA models, was evaluated. Results showed good psychometric support for the instrument with Italian adolescents.
