Theoretical background: A sports career is a specific activity because it starts at an early age, lasts a relatively short time, and usually athletes are most successful when their peers are just starting to develop their typical professional careers. In previous research on the second careers of ex-athletes, mainly the top performers were described, forgetting that many athletes play in the lower leagues and sport is also their main profession. In this study, athletes who played at different levels of competition were analysed. Purpose of the article: The article aims to determine how the length of a sports career affects the second professional career of former athletes. Research methods: The studied population were Polish basketball players of working-age after finishing their sports careers. The survey was conducted online in 2021 and 301 people took part in it. The average duration of a sports career of participants was 10.13 years. Former basketball players were divided into 2 groups according to their career length. The first group consisted of those whose basketball careers lasted at least 10 years (160 people), and the second group consisted of those whose careers were shorter than 10 years (141 people). Main findings: Former players whose sports careers lasted for at least 10 years are more satisfied with them than those whose sports careers were shorter, but they assess their current career prospects worse. It may result from the fact that among those whose sports careers were shorter, a greater percentage have higher education. The results also show that those whose basketball careers were longer, are now more likely to work in the field of sport. In conclusion, it can be said that earlier retirement from sports, favours to a greater extent university graduating and also allows a faster transition to a second professional career.

The study covers the issue of the employment of professional dancers in Czech ballet ensembles, especially the career options available to them after the end of their active theatre careers. Various methodologies, e. g. the questionnaire survey research (gathering and processing answers of 95 dancers still in active performanc and 35 dance students), helped to identify the crucial perspectives from which the dancers viewed their current and future careers. The answers were used as a basis for a strategy plan to help dancers prepare for their “second careers”, including the active participation of theatre houses and collaboration with newly-founded endowment fund supporting retired dancers.

Studie se zabývá problematikou kariéry profesionálních tanečníků v českých baletních souborech se zaměřením na jejich uplatnitelnost na trhu práce po ukončení aktivního výkonu profese v divadle. S využitím zvolených vědeckých metod, zejména dotazníkového šetření, kterého se zúčastnilo 95 aktivních tanečníků baletu a 35 studentů tanečních konzervatoří, byly identifikovány hlavní charakteristiky vnímání vlastní kariéry tanečníků a jejich preferencí z hlediska možností přípravy na tzv. druhou kariéru. Na základě získaných výsledků byly zpracovány návrhy variant podpory tanečníků při přípravě na druhou kariéru, zahrnující možné aktivní personální zapojení divadel v péči o tanečníky a spolupráci s nově vzniklým nadačním fondem.
