Player transitions refer to the processes and activities involved when an athlete moves from one phase of their career or status to another. This can include transitions from amateur to professional status, moving between teams, shifting from one position to another, or adapting to changes in roles within a team. It often encompasses the psychological, social, and physical adjustments a player must make during these changes, as well as the support systems in place to facilitate these transitions. Player transitions are significant in sports management and athlete development, focusing on ensuring that players can navigate these changes successfully while maintaining performance and well-being.
