Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to establish a model of psychological factors influencing participation in education and training in championship sports.
Methods: The research utilized a descriptive-correlational approach. The study population consisted of employees from various sports organizations, including the Ministry of Sports and Youth, the National Olympic Committee, and the General Department of Sports and Youth in Tehran. A targeted sample of 380 individuals was selected for the study. A researcher-developed questionnaire with 68 questions across 15 dimensions was employed. The structural equation modeling method was used to analyze the data with PLS3 software.
Results: The findings indicate that individual psychological factors, interactions with non-sports organizations, interactions with sports organizations, economic factors and financial supporters, human resources, safety of sports equipment for champion sports development, sports facilities, management factors, formulation of fundamental lesson plans, appropriate value-added systems, the central role of family support, holding sports events for champion nurturing, attention to extracurricular programs in schools, use of media, and the supportive role of teachers and school managers in expanding champion sports participation are effective in champion sports development. The goodness of fit (GOF) value for the model in this study is calculated at 704.0, indicating a strong and very appropriate overall fit of the model.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that to develop champion sports, education should expand its participation in champion sports development by focusing on psychological and educational resources and components. To ensure the optimal performance of this ministry, it is necessary to provide the required resources and infrastructure within the organization.
