The way we understand careers have been changing in the 21th century, as they have been presenting shorter cycles. Traditional careers used to be linear and have no displacements, but we can see that the competitiveness of business has not allowed professionals to be safe and stable in a job. The sport career encompasses special features mainly because the cycle is brief when compared to other careers, and we can preview that this will be a trend for future workers. The general goal of this study was to identify evidence on higher performance athletes for the short cycles careers, and how the outcomes of this trend were designed. In order to meet this goal, a qualitative research was conducted with a sample composed by 13 former individual sport athletes, and 10 played the olympic games and 6 of which received medals. In-depth interviews were conducted in addition to secondary data collected from the Internet. Data analysis was performed through content analysis. Regarding results, the athletes had to deal with relevant career transitions and they performed well both inside and outside the sport field. A strong development network—diverse or not—showed to be important for the transition process, as they were concerned about their next cycle.
