Dual career athletes play a crucial role in the sustainable development of sports and society. Balancing education, professional training, and athletic commitments fosters long-term career stability while enhancing social and economic inclusion. Effective dual career policies mitigate financial and psychological risks, equipping athletes with essential skills for post-sport careers. Investing in structured dual career frameworks benefits both individuals and the broader sports ecosystem, ensuring long-term viability and resilience. Collaboration among stakeholders is key to promoting sustainability and inclusion in sports through dual career opportunities.
