The SAMEurope team is convinced, that a mobility adds a benefit both to the professional and the sports career of student athletes.
Our objective was to identify, on one side, the benefits DC students get from a mobility and on the other side, the skills valued by employers when they recruit DC student profiles by conducting 2 qualitatives studies. We aimed to identify concretely what special skills DC students develop during their international mobility and what impact it has on both their professional and sporting careers.
The work plan was divided into 3 main parts:
- A re-analysis of a student survey conducted in 2016 among 4,600 respondents on different categories of sports athletes and the positive and negative impact sports can have on their academic performance.
- A correspondence study which aimed to assess the potential of student athletes among potential employers, especially if they went abroad during their curriculum.
- A study on the career paths of elite athletes using the participants lists to the FISU World University Games between 2009 and 2019 for (almost) all the consortium members.
