Abstract
The importance of championship sports and the expansion of competitions in international levels has caused most countries to look for programs to discover sports talents in order to achieve success. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to identify the effective factors in identifying the sports talent of primary school students (with championship approach for the future). The qualitative research method and thematic analysis is used. The statistical population included relevant academic professors, talent identification experts of the Ministry of Sports and Youth and exemplary physical education teachers who were selected by targeted sampling. The data collection tool included in-depth and semi-structured interviews that were conducted with 16 experts in the relevant field until theoretical saturation was reached. All steps of data coding and analysis were done with the help of MaxQDA software version 2018. After analyzing the interviews 86 effective features were obtained which finally led to 8 main themes including strategic planning, creative education, motivated teachers, parents, special facilities, smart talent identification, holding competitions and financing. The results of the present research can be effective in improving the status of the country's championship sports.
