Abstract
First paragraph: Skills and employability have a direct impact on life opportunities. Understanding how skills are learned, developed, applied, maintained and adapted over time can facilitate improving the employability of individuals. Sports scholars are a unique population for investigation as they need to maintain a wide range of skills and acquire new ones in order to perform in two domains (education and sport). The ability to refine a previous skill, or learn new skills that may be required to be effective in a new domain or wider activity, is an important issue for society as a prosperous economy depends on the development of new skills.
