COUTO, Hergos Ritor Froes de. THE CONCILIATION BETWEEN SPORTS AND SCHOOL FORMATION: A PERFECT MOVE. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2021, n.59, e20667.  Epub Feb 07, 2024. ISSN 1983-9278.  https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n59.20667.

In Brazil and in the world, many boys and girls wish to become professional soccer players, but the path to this attempt is permeated by renunciations and sacrifices. In many cases, such young people engage almost exclusively in sports training, and in this process much of them end up neglecting school education. However it is public knowledge that few players will reach the professional category and even fewer those who will achieve financial independence and social ascension. The purpose of this study was to understand how, currently, the young football players of the base category Sub-17 of the Futebol Clube of Porto, and the parents of these athletes operate with the situation in managing the conciliation of the sports and school formation, without prejudice to the development of any of them. A methodological line was developed that was framed in a qualitative research. Regarding the research instrument, semi-structured interviews were used and the Collective Subject Discourse (DSC) technique was used to analyze the data. It was considered that the hypotheses of this study were not confirmed, since the players stated that despite the difficulties they found, it is very important to reconcile the sporting formation and schooling, and they demonstrated good discernment about the possibility of failure or success in the soccer trajectory and the perspective of achievement in other careers. Parents value school education and are present and participative in supporting, monitoring and charging the children's performance in school, with a view to continuing their studies in higher education.
