Basis of economic security of a highly qualified athlete

Abstract

At the present stage issues of ensuring personal economic security are becoming particularly relevant and especially it is important in the context of local and global pandemics. This problem area has a complex character, and it is characterized by its multiplicity that determines the necessity to study the relevant issues in the context of the professional identity of the individual. From our point of view the most interesting feature is the development of problems of personal economic security in the physical culture and sports industry. It is worth taking into account the fact that the problems of ensuring economic security in the physical culture and sports industry are in most cases considered at the level of major manufacturers of sports products, international sports organizations and the state. In this regard the issues of ensuring personal economic security of professional athletes as subjects of international sports remain largely outside the scope of these studies. This circumstance clearly demonstrates the fact that there is a “ dialectical gap ” between the sphere of economic security in the physical culture and sport s industry and the issues of personal economic security of professional athletes that directly influences on the prospects for the development of spectator sports and sports of higher achievements.
