摘要

Introduction: This study investigated sports policy regarding the career development of talented student-athletes in the United Kingdom by addressing the experiences, the mechanisms, and the implications of its implementation. Methods: A case study was conducted that included an examination of the Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence (AASE). The research methods included documentary analysis and interviews. Results: A well-established collaborative relationship among parents, student-athletes, coaches, the National Governing Bodies of sports (NGBs), sports clubs, and educational institutions was identified, and this relationship was found to have shaped the operating structure of the AASE. Conclusion: Some major implications were identified, such as the important role of parental involvement in AASE implementation. Student-athletes’ attitude toward AASE implementation was found to be positive; they stated that their ＂educational welfare was emphasized＂ and that they were more ＂focused＂ while training and competing.
