This process involves recognizing potential abilities, designing training and motivational programs, continuously evaluating performance, and creating professional growth pathways for athletes. Recent studies indicate that the adoption of talent management systems enhances team efficiency, reduces athlete attrition, and improves the competitive level of sports organizations. On the other hand, challenges such as limited resources, insufficient early identification of talent, and the lack of adequate support structures can reduce the effectiveness of talent management. This study aims to examine the principles, models, and effective strategies for managing athlete talent by analyzing successful experiences at national and international levels. The results show that combining scientific approaches in selecting and developing athletes, fostering motivation in supportive environments, and using modern technologies to monitor performance are key factors in successful sports talent management. Findings also highlight the importance of interaction among managers, coaches, and athletes in creating a dynamic and sustainable ecosystem for talent development. Finally, it is recommended that sports organizations establish comprehensive policies and long-term plans to continuously nurture and develop athletic talent.</p> https://www.journalfwdmj.com/index.php/fwdmj/article/download/126/135
