A critical review of career research and assistance through the cultural lens: towards cultural praxis of athletes' careers (2014, background): “Only a few existing career studies have utilized narrative and ethnographic methodological traditions (Carless & Douglas, 2009; Douglas & Carless, 2009; Fuentes, Torregrosa, & Feliu, 2009; Henriksen, 2010), gravitating toward constructivist epistemologies.”
Abandoning The Performance Narrative: Two Women's Stories of Transition from Professional Sport (2009, unknown): “As examples of alternative stories, discovery and relational narratives show how it is possible to have worth without success and to experience career disruption without suffering and trauma (see Carless & Douglas, 2009 ; Douglas & Carless, 2006 ).”

Narrative inquiry: ongoing conversations and questions for sport and exercise psychology research (2010, methodology): “Drawing on narrative theory and stories generated in interviews conducted over a six year period with two professional golfers, Carless and Douglas (2009) explored how the stories female golfers tell throughout their lives affect their career transition experiences (see also Douglas & Carless,…”
A meta-study of athletic identity research in sport psychology: Current status and future directions (2016, methodology): “…of sport in the life of a disable person Deductive analysis through Erikson’s (1985) theory of psychosocial development Life story interviews Carless & Douglas (2009) Living as elite athlete, athletic retirement Narrative analysis of structure and form (Sparkes, 2005) Life story…”
