Dual career
A dual career is a two units career .
The term dual career is often used in connection with top-class sport , since here the sporting career is only rarely seen as an opportunity for care and the active ones have to take up another occupation after the end of their career, for which they in most cases very long have done little or nothing.
The German Olympic Sports Confederation endeavors to promote a dual career for members of the squad with funding programs . However, this only succeeds in a few cases, so that breaking off a career in top sport that has not been exhausted in favor of a professional career is still the most common reason for top athletes to break off. The combination of top-class sport and a professional career does not succeed in all countries in the same way, especially Russia and the states of the former Eastern Bloc make such a dual career more difficult by specializing in top-class sport at an early stage.
The increasing number of students among the Olympic participants requires close cooperation between the General German University Sports Association, the German Olympic Sports Association and the athletes. To ensure such a dual career, more and more Olympic training centers are concluding direct cooperation agreements with individual universities, including private universities.
