dc.description.abstractFor some athletes, making the transition from competitive athletics to other life domains can prove to be difficult. This may be because they fail to recognize that the skills they learn within the sport domain are sometimes generalizable to other life domains . In this study, figure skaters' abilities to recognize generalizable life skills within the context of figure skating skills were tested, and it was found that their abilities were somewhat lacking. When asked to rate themselves on a life skills inventory, and then again on an inventory that listed the same life skills contextualized within skating language to look like figure skating skills, they rated themselves significantly higher on the figure skating skills. The more they were figure skating-identified, the more they tended to do this. It was also found that certain skills were significantly more recognizable than others for the skaters. Finally, research and practical implications, limitations, and suggestions for the future development of instruments devised in this study were discussed.en
