Based on a pilot study conducted at the Sverdlovsk Regional Pedagogical College within the framework of the federal "Professionalitet" project, the study reveals the relationship between the sports engagement of future specialists and their professional-civic identity. Empirical findings from a survey of student-athletes—covering motivation, value orientations, manifestations of patriotism, and personal-professional qualities—are presented, and scientific-methodological recommendations for enhancing the college's educational work are formulated.
