As an athletic ‘new retiree’ I am glad that I could participate in the Vitae+ programme. As a top sportsman in transition to a new path, I already had a well laid out career path into professional sports. But every athlete faces major psychological challenges when they leave their everyday sporting life and start a new one. This is why the help of a professionally trained psychologist/coach makes sense – in this way you can make the right decisions. The programme can be even more useful for those with a less career-oriented future.
