THE SPORTS TRAJECTORY OF ATHLETE TATYANE AMARO SANTOS

FROM INITIATION TO THE PROFESSIONALIZATION OF WOMEN'S FOOTBALL

Authors

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the sports trajectory of a professional female soccer athlete. Methodologically, we employ the assumptions of oral history with qualitative approach. A thematic interview was conducted based on the life story of athlete Tatyane Amaro Santos. The results pointed out that in order to pursue an athletic career, the interviewee had to face numerous gender prejudice issues in different periods and spaces (family, school, professional). We conclude that such issues are deeply rooted in women's soccer, where talent alone is not sufficient for an athlete to succeed in her career, demanding significant investment not only in physical performance but also in socioemotional aspects.
