More Than Sport
Life transitions can be stressful, but this online program can help athletes manage the identity changes that take place during or after the transition out of elite sport. More Than Sport (MTS) harnesses social identity theory to provide athletes with the knowledge and tools they need to manage identity changes and social group connections. The program empowers athletes to take control of the identity changes that are inevitable in their retirement, paving the way for greater fulfilment in life after elite sport.
