The initial development and validation of the Social Adaptability Skills Questionnaire: SASQ.

Changing clubs over the course of an athletic career may not always be easy, and this has raised questions about how these changes affect career development. However, few studies have focused on the process of adapting to a new club and the factors that lead to success or failure. To address this gap in the literature, we aimed to develop and provide the initial validation of a questionnaire designed to assess athletes' social adaptability skills (SAS).

During their career, most players working in professional team sports move from club to club.
