Dr. Barbara Halberschmidt and Laura van de Loo were guests at the DOSB's Competitive Sports Conference in Hennef on 16.10.24, where they were able to present the project for the scientific investigation of the dual career model for top student athletes to the heads of the Olympic training centers. The project aims to improve the situation of top athletes at universities and is therefore investigating key factors and predictors that contribute to the success of a dual career for top student athletes.
