- Abstract
This article examines the concept and implementation of a sustainable athlete development system as a strategic framework for achieving long-term national sporting success. Grounded in established models such as Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD), FTEM, and Athletic Talent Development Environment (ATDE), the study highlights key challenges in current coaching practices, including short-term performance orientation, early specialization, fragmented policies, and limited integration of sports science. It discusses the importance of early talent identification, integrated coaching structures, data-driven evaluation, and continuous system improvement. Furthermore, the paper contextualizes these principles within Indonesian sports policies, particularly the National Sports Grand Design (DBON) and recent ministerial regulations. The findings underscore that a holistic, evidence-based, and multi-stakeholder approach is essential for producing sustainable athletic achievement and athlete well-being across generations.
