    Usenik, Janja ; Cecić Erpič, Saša
    Although characteristics of athletic transitions and retirement from the athletic career apply to both female and male athletes, the majority of the career transition research has focused on male ... professional athletes. It still remains unclear whether there are any gender specific demands and challenges athletes face during their career development (CD) and what are their characteristics. Therefore the aim of this study was to study gender specific CD characteristics of male and female athletes during their university years. Taking into account the multi-level factors of CD, the developmental life-span model (Wylleman and Lavalee, 2004) was used to develop the questionnaire for the purposes of this study. Two status groups will be used in this study: students (n = 40; 20 M, 20 F) and student-athletes(n = 40; 20 M, 20 F) aged between 19 and 24. Gender and status differences in characteristics of career transitions were observed. The results revealed some gender specific career demands and challenges male and female athletes are faced during their university years. While recognizing gender differences in athletes' CD there were no attempts to develop gender-specific athlete career transition models. More research on the role of the gender on multi-level challenges faced by male and female athletes is therefore needed.
