This chapter discusses the basic conceptual principles of the dual career model for student-athletes with disabilities and provides ideas for its better understanding and future optimisation. The chapter is structured in three sections. First, a brief state of the art on social inclusion and its relation to adapted sports will be presented. This will be followed by an analysis of the potential of a dual career for sportsmen and sportswomen with disabilities, and how it can contribute towards their personal, academic, and sporting development. Subsequently, the benefits derived from the implementation of the dual career in this population will be presented, and lastly, recommendations will be offered for the eventual application of this model in higher education institutions
