Abstract:	Career transition in sport is a consolidated topic both in academia and applied practice. In recognition of the 25th anniversary of Psychology of Sport and Exercise (PSE), Stambulova and Henriksen (2025) shared a review paper on career transitions in sport with the driving idea to bridge the holistic developmental approach (HDA) and the holistic ecological approach (HEA). In this comment we summarize their main contributions adding our perspective on the debates and future challenges proposed by the authors. Furthermore, we conclude that the bridge they propose between HDA and HEA is a bridge over calm waters, given the complementarity of the proposals, and their collaborative and constructive work, like that of most researchers and practitioners of sport working in this field.
