Sažetak
The purpose of this paper is to determine the causes of sudden interruption of sports careers of top athletes, the ways, methods or tools used to achieve in the most effective way the transition from active competition period to the period of forced sports retirement, as well as possible common characteristics. The sample of male and female examinees consists of ten top Croatian athletes, representatives of various sports, and the method of semi-structured interviews is applied. The emotional experience of the examinees at the time of finding out that their career would terminate is - similar or the same, and the methods and tools they used to facilitate the transition from one lifestyle to another - different. The reasons for sudden sports retirement are a combination of various factors, from injuries to various diseases, and nine out of ten interviewed athletes during active sports period did not think about the possibility of a sudden career interruption. Those athletes who invested in their education in parallel with their sports careers overcame the transition more easily. Surrounding factors such as the support of family, friends and coaches has also proven to be one of the more significant common elements of help, but much of the successful transition is attributed to their own psychophysical abilities and individual efforts. Playing sports is a valuable benefit for all the examinees in solving the problem of transition.
