Athletes' experiences of social support during their transition out of elite sport: An interpretive phenomenological analysis (2018, background): “Identity also plays an important role in the process of transition, with evidence suggesting that athletes whose identity is based on participation and success in sport tend to be more vulnerable to psychological difficulties, such as depression (e.g., Lavallee & Robinson, 2007).”
Riding the Wave of an Expert: A Successful Talent Development Environment in Kayaking (2011, background): “A particularly salient risk during this transition is that of developing a one-sided athletic identity, which jeopardizes not only the athlete’s successful sports career but also the successful adaptation to life after sport (Lavallee, Gordon, & Grove, 1997; Lavallee & Robinson, 2007).”
A critical review of career research and assistance through the cultural lens: towards cultural praxis of athletes' careers (2014, background): “…North American and Australian traditions (e.g. identity research, relying heavily on life development intervention approach, emulating the Australian Athlete Career and Education (ACE) Program) on the other hand (e.g. Lavallee, 2005; Lavallee & Robinson, 2007; Pummell, Harwood, & Lavallee, 2008).”
The Retirement Experiences of Elite Female Gymnasts: Self Identity and the Physical Self (2008, methodology): “Accordingly, identity conflict has been strongly associated with retirement from elite gymnastics (Kerr & Dacyshyn, 2000; Lavallee & Robinson, 2007).”
A meta-study of athletic identity research in sport psychology: Current status and future directions (2016, unknown): “…interviews Lally (2007) Athletic retirement Inductive content analysis (Coté, Salmela, Baria & Russell, 1993; Tesch, 1990) Unstructured interviews Lavallee & Robinson (2007) Identity formation and adaptation during athletic retirement Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA; Smith, et…”
Investigating Elite End-of-Athletic-Career Transition: A Systematic Review (2016, background): “Although a number of researchers have conducted qualitative research around transitioning athletes (e.g., Lally, 2007; Lavallee & Robinson, 2007) there appears to be no research that has explicitly focused on flourishing/positive outcomes among retired elite athletes.”
Sporting embodiment: sports studies and the (continuing) promise of phenomenology (2009, background): “Some IPA researchers even indicate prior to interview the precise areas participants will be ‘required’ to expand upon (e.g. Lavallee and Robinson 2007).”
Athletes' career transition out of sport: a systematic review (2013, background): “…athletes who did not have a good relationship with their coach expressed more difficulties during the career transition process (Chow, 2001; Kerr & Dacyshyn, 2000; Muscat, 2010) and the participants in the studies blamed their coaches for an unsatisfying retirement (Lavallee & Robinson, 2007).”
