Abstract

Early termination of football careers is a challenge for elite women footballers. They quit their careers before experience, competence, and performance are fully developed, and women’s football is deprived of the opportunity to develop to the highest optimal quality. Women’s elite football is mostly semi-professional, with athletes juggling between football, work, and education. This qualitative study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with Norwegian elite women footballers (N = 7). Findings suggest the main reason for early termination is the heavy workload due to the combination of studies, work, and elite-level football, which led to exhaustion and burnout. It indicates that providing enough time to recover, fewer “to-dos” pushed into the day, and sufficient resources, hinder the harmful effects of a heavy total workload. The aim of the article is to highlight the reasons for the early termination of football careers for elite women footballers in Norway and the challenges of reaching international standards.

年轻而疲惫——女子精英足球的困境。挪威优秀女子足球运动员过早终止足球生涯是由高度的情绪和人际压力因素引起的

对于优秀的女子足球运动员来说，提前结束足球生涯是一个挑战。她们在经验、能力和成绩都没有得到充分发展之前就退出了职业生涯，女足被剥夺了发展到最高最佳质量的机会。女子精英足球大多是半职业的，运动员们在足球、工作和教育之间徘徊。本定性研究通过对挪威优秀女足运动员(N = 7)的半结构化访谈进行。研究结果表明，早期终止的主要原因是由于学习、工作和精英足球相结合而导致的繁重的工作量，导致疲惫和倦怠。它表明，提供足够的恢复时间，减少每天的“待办事项”，并提供足够的资源，可以阻止繁重的总工作量带来的有害影响。这篇文章的目的是强调挪威优秀女子足球运动员过早终止足球生涯的原因，以及达到国际标准的挑战。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
