Sport Retirement refers to the period when an athlete decides to discontinue their participation in competitive sports. This decision can arise from various factors, including age, injury, personal circumstances, or a desire to pursue other interests or careers. Retirement can be voluntary, initiated by the athlete, or involuntary, sometimes due to external factors like team cuts or changes in the sport. The transition from active competition to retirement can impact an athlete’s identity, mental health, and future opportunities, leading to a phase of adjustment. Some athletes choose to remain involved in the sport post-retirement through coaching, commentary, or ambassador roles, while others may seek entirely new paths outside of sports.
