“…More recently, David Kirk's Scholar Lecture (Kirk, 2014), and the varied responses (Hastie & van der Mars, 2014;O'Sullivan & Penney, 2014) have considered the issues and challenges for those trying to 'make a career' in PESP. While each of the authors lauded the continued growth, vibrancy and legitimacy of the field, there were various suggestions offered regarding how scholars may negotiate the increasingly corporatised 'spaces' found in contemporary universities.…”

Taking our lead from Rainer Maria Rilke's (1929) 'Letters to a Young Poet', our broader project aimed to create a space for dialogue and intergenerational learning between Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy (PESP) Early Career Academics (ECAs) and members of the PESP professoriate. This paper focuses specifically on the experiences of PESP ECAs. We draw upon narratives of thirty ECAs from nine different countries to gain insight into the experiences, joys, challenges and ambitions they associate with being and becoming a PESP academic. A narrative analysis of the data generated by the ECAs was undertaken. The analysis aimed to be holistic in nature, interested in form and content: both the told (the content) and the telling (how it was told). We initially focused our analysis using the six dimensions of narrative (characters, setting, events, audience, causal relations and themes). Bourdieu's socio-analytical toolkit complemented our narrative analysis and helped us move beyond the personal narratives by linking them to the broader social practices, relations and structures of the various settings or fields (PESP, university, family) within which the participants function. The findings suggest that many ECAs are experiencing crises of habitus, as they work to suppress ethical dispositions and values and adjust to 'the rules' that universities increasingly play by. Our discussion engages with the affective costs of playing by these rules, and recruits Bourdieu's notion of 'reflexive vigilance' to advocate for ongoing critical analysis of how power operates in the various field which academics inhabit.

“…As early career academics (ECAs) functioning in and critical of this 'market-driven system', the rationale for producing and commissioning papers for this special issue was as much personal as it was motivated by a gap in the literature, although a lacuna certainly existed. We were keen to understand if and how our physical education and sport pedagogy (PESP) peers were 'surviving' or 'thriving ' (O'Sullivan & Penney, 2014) in their neoliberal universities. Inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke's (1984) timeless 'Letters to a Young Poet', and a timely invitation to consider how PESP ECAs might be better mentored, the decision to lead a project and a special issue focused on intergenerational dialogue in the field was made.…”

“…De maneira geral, a carreira do PEF é uma discussão que tem início na década de 1970 com questões direcionadas exclusivamente para homens 11 no cenário inglês. Desde então, o assunto ganhou forças a partir dos anos 2000, com enfoque na qualidade de vida [12][13][14] , percepções de egressos na carreira 15,16 , carreira acadêmica [17][18][19] e trajetórias de vida permeadas pela carreira [20][21][22] . Geralmente, o olhar para a carreira deste profissional ocorre sob seus estágios de desenvolvimento atrelados aos ciclos referentes aos anos de ensino como proposto por Fessler 23 , Huberman 24 , Mäkelä 25 e Nascimento e Graça 26 , com origem nos mesmos ciclos utilizados para profissionais que atuam nas esferas da educação formal.…”

Diversas pesquisas discutiram as relações entre o homem e o desenvolvimento de suas carreiras, entretanto se faz necessário explorar mais a construção desses caminhos para profissionais de Educação Física. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi apreender os significados e sentidos que os profissionais de Educação Física atribuem às suas carreiras. Nesta pesquisa qualitativa fenomenológica, foram realizados encontros dialógicos com oito profissionais de Educação Física de diferentes áreas de atuação. Após cada encontro foi elaborada uma narrativa compreensiva e, ao final, uma narrativa-síntese. Os resultados foram analisados a partir do paradigma de carreira Life Design. Todos enfatizaram a autorresponsabilidade pelo sucesso na carreira, busca constante por formação profissional, capacidade de adaptação aos diferentes momentos da vida e da profissão e intenção de permanência mesmo com possíveis mudanças de funções. Ainda que estes profissionais enfrentem diversas dificuldades na profissão e suas respectivas realidades, o alto nível de envolvimento com a profissão garantiu tal permanência.
