    Si le sport de haut niveau est devenu un objet légitime de recherche, comme le signale Didier Demazière dans la postface de l’ouvrage, le travail de Sophie Javerlhiac ne peut qu’alimenter les réflexions qui gravitent autour de la notion de carrière professionnelle. En s’intéressant à l’une de ses étapes, celle de la reconversion, l’auteure rend compte plus particulièrement des différentes façons dont les sportifs de haut niveau (SHN) se positionnent face à cette question.

    Ce travail de thèse s’intéresse à la structuration et à la dynamique d’un marché de sportives professionnelles : précisément celui qu’animent les basketteuses en France. Il s’agit d’approcher la régulation de ce marché par le prisme d’un de ces acteurs (les joueuses), de comprendre comment elles « se placent », et en quoi les ressources mobilisées pour s’installer dans le métier et construire sa carrière dépassent les limites du terrain sportif.Considered a paying job by some, a non-contratualized activity by some others, femalebasketball is far from being homogenous. Thus this thesis will try to analyze the careers ofplayers belonging to the highest two national French divisions with a view to enlighten howthese careers get constructed and evolve. This sports world is very competitive, hierarchiallyordered and unsafe, that's why've tried to study its organization and functioning by unvealingthe mechanisms which explain that a player eventually occupies such or such a position. Guidedby the interactionist approach to social phenomena and concerned with career studying by usingan inductive process, we've combined several (quantitativ and qualitativ) field surveys: that'show we've drawn up 3 categories of sportswomen based on the position they occupy at onemoment in their careers : the « stars », the « settled » and the others. Beyond these results we'vealso attempted to question the survey methods, by reporting on our methodology and byadvancing cautiously in the harvesting and analysis of the material produced. Finally this surveydedicated to female elite basketball players has also permitted to draw some elements to start afuture survey devoted to the sports market more serenely : our attention will be drawn to otherpeople than female basketball players such as agents, club managers and coaches
