Dual career for students with athlete status at Faculty of economics, University of Ljubljana

Abstract

SummaryElite athletes invest most of their time and energy in sports training and competitions, so they are often absent from the pedagogical process at university levels of education, which has an impact on the achievement of education. Too often, top-notch athletes are faced with difficulties in building out-of-sports careers, since many have no proper education and necessary experience. It is therefore important that they acquire an education at a time when competing in sport. At Faculty of economics, University of Ljubljana we’ve developed a system that facilitate education and help students with athlete status to achieve the desired vocational education, despite their intensive involvement in the top sport.
