Abstract

The article emphasizes the importance of the connection between sports and education for Latvian ice hockey players. The purpose of the study is to review theoretical findings and analyze the opportunities of competences development for athletes in Latvian hockey. The integration of sports and education, rooted in the rights to education and play, gives rise to the concept of Dual Career, fostering the holistic development of talented athletes. Article presents findings from a survey on dual career opportunities among Latvian ice hockey players, shedding light on competence development and perspectives regarding dual career pathways. Hockey players are interested in dual career development, but face obstacles due to limited support and insufficient cooperation between sports clubs, educational institutions, and the hockey federation. Respondents offered several suggestions for improving dual career opportunities, including increased government support, proactive engagement by national federations, and the creation of flexible schedules and online programs tailored to athletes’ needs. This study highlights the urgent need for comprehensive support mechanisms and collaborative efforts to facilitate successful dual career pursuits among hockey players in Latvia.
