Abstract

A successful career in professional sport depends on many factors - a competent planning of the training process, well-coordinated work of the system coach - athlete, physiological and psychological predisposition of an athlete to the chosen sport and many others. A comprehensive, scientifically well-grounded search for talented young people able to bear heavy training load, and high rates of mastering sport is a characteristic feature of sport development at modern stage. Throughout their athletic career, from the beginning as children and up to its end at any stage, athletes have to encounter crises occuring during transition periods and overcome them. We investigated the process of transition of young athletes to adult professional sport. The article presents the results of the research made by the authors to reveal the main causes which lead to terminating a career in sport, as well as the main conditions and circumstances for successful career prospects.
