Deciding what to do after secondary education can be very challenging. Being an athlete does not make this any easier. When considering an ongoing education following school, athletes do not only need to decide what subject, course type and education institution is right for them. Inevitably, they are also confronted with the question, how the desired study option can be realized next to their sporting career. Indeed, the demands of competitive sport can make it difficult to reconcile athletic, educational and private spheres of life.
A dual career solution must be individually tailored to the athlete’s prerequisites and needs. Making well-considered decisions for their very own dual career pathway post-school therefore becomes a key factor not only for their education and athletic success but also their personal well-being. Taking a good decision is largely the result of knowing well all the available options, clarifying the various facts and values of each and selecting the preferred direction.
This is where TW1N comes into play. We help you gather dual career-relevant information, weigh their educational options against each other, and select the direction in which to continue their dual career pathway following their secondary school career, such as towards higher education, further education or apprenticeship.
