Episode 8: The Two-Person Career | Research, Relationships, and Well-being Support

As a sort of “Part 2” in Dr. Phoebe’s discussion of the research literature about the partners of elite professional footballers in England, this week she explains the two-person career. This concept was first discussed in sociology in the 70s as it pertained to demanding industries like academia, medicine, and military. More recent research has linked this relational model to the lifestyle of elite sports, and Dr. Phoebe furthers the modernization of this conversation in her explanation of the concept and the integration of her personal experiences.
