This study presents a comprehensive exploration into the problematic transitions encountered by professional footballers retiring in Ireland. Although sport and in particular professional football may offer a lucrative and very attractive lifestyle during a playing career, the research here suggests the transition phase and retirement from the game causes serious and significant obstacles for the individual.

Secondly, coupling the pre-retirement supports with transition programs, which offer real time supports for the athlete within the immediate time-frame of their decision to retire.
