| Sumario: | Balancing between two different commitments, sport and education, has been demonstrated as one of the significant challenges for dual career athletes, namely student athletes. Since EU guidelines on dual careers of athletes was published, a number of studies have been conducted on the topic of dual careers.

Applying a two-fold methodology based on the literature and the EU funded projects reviews, the findings show that there is a clear need of further research on the topic of dual ca-reer focused on the junior athletes’ needs, coping strat-egies development, and general aspects of their life. The findings in this study will inform following studies of DCJA project to fill the research gaps identified |
