The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of sporting experience on the perceived effectiveness of career development support and the experience of career decision-making difficulty for current Australian Football League (AFL) players. Thirty-four AFL players (M[subscript age] = 24, SD = 3.98), with varied playing experience in the AFL (M[subscript games] = 87.82, SD = 93.41), completed measures of career decision-making, and career-related support. Results indicated that participants did not report experiencing career decision-making difficulty regardless of playing experience. Findings also indicated that AFL players rate the career-related support provided by the player development manager as effective for their career and educational development. This research contributes to an understanding of the benefit of providing career support for professional athletes.
