Abstract
To increases chances of success, sports teams aim to maximize the number of high-quality players at their disposal. Managing player development and recruitment in a way that increases the odds of players having long and successful careers is therefore an important objective for all sports organizations. Despite the benefits of increasing effective career length, little research has examined the professional phase of elite team sports careers or sought to explore reasons for performance decline in high level players. The aim of this thesis is therefore to present information useful to practitioners aiming to design interventions towards increasing effective career length. In support of this objective, this thesis will examine career profiles within professional team sport, explore interacting factors which impact career duration and present suggestions and practical recommendations in support of enhancing player longevity.
