“…Some of the literature has focused on the process of fast tracking, as well as elements of it as these pertain to the person-in-transit (e.g., Blackett et al, 2017Blackett et al, , 2018Blackett et al, , 2019Blackett et al, , 2020Rynne, 2014). The emphasis of some of the fast-tracked pathway studies has been on unique elements, without focusing on the transition lived experience itself such as how the athletic past and the process may impact the new coach's philosophy, behaviors, effectiveness or development (e.g., Blackett et al, 2017Blackett et al, , 2018Blackett et al, , 2019Blackett et al, , 2020McMahon et al, 2020, Rynne, 2014. Espousing the coaching role has also been highlighted as an expectation or obligation associated with high performance sport participation.…”

“…In closing, the within-sport transition of athlete-to-coach is not an overnight shift despite the fact that, particularly in the case of fast-tracking, it may appear to be. Immersion into coaching can present even the most seasoned elite athlete with what feels like an entirely new world in which their role, responsibilities, and relationships have all shifted (e.g., Chroni et al, 2020;McMahon et al, 2020;Rynne, 2014). Special attention should be paid to the second phase of re-identification, when the individuals become aware of the realities of the shift in their being(s) and doing(s).…”

Elite athletic career termination is inevitable in high performance sport. Whether due to interest, injury, age or combination of factors, athletes will undergo a shift in their professional and personal identity. While retirement out of sport has been scrutinized to both understand and support athletes, we have not thought through what the athlete-to-coach, within-sport retirement, signifies for the person undergoing it and for our applied practice and lack the approach(es) for supporting it. Based on recent research advances, we build on a range of resources to be developed in supporting athletes during the transition and in the coaching profession. Knowing how fast athletes transit to coaching, justifies how demanding and confusing this transition is. We [athletes] are like kids leaving home and sport seems to be failing us as a good parent. (Sigurd Pettersen, ski jumping, winner Four Hills Tournament 03-04, assistant coach US Women's ski jumping 04-05) Knowledge and interventions on athlete retirement and post-career transition outside sport have grown considerably (Park et al., 2013). Only recently has post-career transitioning inside sport, where an athlete transits from training and competing to coaching, attracted researchers' attention (e.g.,

“…Therefore, research has begun to empirically analyze the A-to-C pathway and specifically the "fast-tracking" of elite athletes into coaching roles in attempts to identify good practice along with problematizing the practice McMahon et al, 2020). In this presentation, some of the contemporary findings in this area will be outlined, including some relevant critiques related to A-to-C transitions.…”

“…Safeguarding and athlete welfare in sport have received increased public and academic attention in the last decade (Nery et al, 2021 ). Together, these terms encompass health and safety issues related to topics such as gendered violence (Barker-Ruchti et al, 2021 ), abusive coaching practices (McMahon et al, 2020 ), racism (Manning, 2021 ), bullying (Parent et al, 2021 ), the legitimization and stigmatization of disordered eating (Papathomas, 2019 ), psychological abuse (Krahn, 2021 ) and the risk of sustaining sports injuries (White, 2021 ). In the context of sports injuries, sports-related concussion (SRC) represents an important subject in that it can result in long-term health issues for athletes (Gagnon and Ptito, 2017 ; Sindelar and Bailes, 2017 ).…”

Sports injury prevention is an important part of the athlete welfare and safeguarding research field. In sports injury prevention, sport-related concussion (SRC) has proved to be one of the most difficult and complex injuries to manage in terms of prevention, diagnosis, classification, treatment and rehabilitation. SRC can cause long-term health issues and is a commonly reported injury in both adult and youth athletes around the world. Despite increased knowledge of the prevalence of SRC, very few tools are available for diagnosing SRC in athletic settings. Recent technological innovations have resulted in different machine learning and deep learning methodologies being tested to improve the management of this complex sports injury. The purpose of this article is to summarize and map the existing research literature on the use of machine learning in the management of SRC, ascertain where there are gaps in the existing research and identify recommendations for future research. This is explored through a scoping review. A systematic search in the three electronic databases SPORTDiscus, PubMed and Scopus identified an initial 522 studies, of which 24 were included in the final review, the majority of which focused on machine learning for the prediction and prevention of SRC (N = 10), or machine learning for the diagnosis and classification of SRC (N = 11). Only 3 studies explored machine learning approaches for the treatment and rehabilitation of SRC. A main finding is that current research highlights promising practical uses (e.g., more accurate and rapid injury assessment or return-to-sport participation criteria) of machine learning in the management of SRC. The review also revealed a narrow research focus in the existing literature. As current research is primarily conducted on male adolescents or adults from team sports in North America there is an urgent need to include wider demographics in more diverse samples and sports contexts in the machine learning algorithms. If research datasets continue to be based on narrow samples of athletes, the development of any new diagnostic and predictive tools for SRC emerging from this research will be at risk. Today, these risks appear to mainly affect the health and safety of female athletes.
