The sports career is a process where the athlete, voluntarily, seeks to achieve high levels of sports performance, however it is not known about how the development of the sports career occurred in squash athletes.The aim of this study was to analyze the sports life trajectory of Brazilian squash athletes in different periods of the sports career. Using the Personal Assets Framework (P.A.F.) as a base, we conducted a semi-structured interviews for six athletes (three male athletes and three female athletes), and used a thematic analysis for the interviews.
