Changes in Athletic Identity and Life Satisfaction of Elite Athletes as a Function of Retirement Status (2014, background): “The literature indicates that it declines following retirement from sport and that this decline facilitates adjustment to post-sport life (Lally, 2007; Lavallee, Gordon, & Grove, 1997).”
