The transition from junior to senior football is a big one. Researchers have identified some of the biggest stressors for athletes who want to continue playing football at the elite level.

If you want to be really good at football, you have to be able to handle pressure, because you’ll be facing a lot of it. Playing at a high adult level can be demanding. The road is long and can be stressful. But what’s the hardest transition?

“One of the big transitions is going from junior to senior level. It’s a difficult one for a lot of talented footballers,” says Stig Arve Sæther, an associate professor in sport science at NTNU’s Department of Sociology and Political Science at NTNU.

Norwegian and British researchers have joined forces to investigate the obstacles faced by junior players who take the step to senior football.
