Flow chart displaying different stages of the athletic career transition model.
The first box at the top of the flow chart reads ‘Transition demands’. An arrow from this points downwards to the next box that sits underneath. This box reads ‘Dynamic balance between transition resources and barriers’. Two dotted arrows point to these first two boxes from the right with text next to them that reads ‘Crisis-prevention interventions’ and a large pink arrow labelled ‘A’.
Underneath the ‘Dynamic balance between transition resources and barriers’ box is an arrow pointing downwards to a box which reads ‘Coping’. From this box there are then two arrows pointing downwards. One arrow points to the box ‘Effective (*a successful transition)’ the other points to the box ‘Ineffective (*crisis transition)’. A dotted arrow points towards the ‘Ineffective (*crisis transition)’ box from the left with the text ‘Psychological crisis-coping interventions’ alongside.
Immediately underneath the ‘Ineffective (*crisis transition)’ box is a box which reads ‘Need intervention’ – this also has a large blue arrow labelled ‘B’ pointing towards it from the right.
Two arrows points off from the ‘Need intervention’ box. One points directly downwards to the box ‘Ineffective or no intervention’, the other point diagonally downwards to the box ‘Effective’. From the ‘Effective’ box there is then an arrow pointing upwards to the ‘Effective (*a successful transition)’ box.
An arrow points downwards from the ‘Ineffective or no intervention’ box to a box which reads ‘‘Costs’ for failures to cope with the transition’. A dotted arrow points towards this box from the left with the text ‘Dealing-with-consequences interventions’ alongside.
