Abstract

Background: The development of high-quality athletes involves a coordinated effort from coaches, parents, and administrators. Long-term performance is greatly influenced by their commitment in a players’ commitment, which includes funding, coaching, training, and resource distribution. The scope and efficacy of these contributions are still not well understood, though. Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate how administrators, coaches, and parents can support the growth of talented athletes throughout their careers. In particular, it looks into how they get involved, how much money they spend, and how it affects athletes’ lifespan and performance. Methodology: Both quantitative and qualitative data were incorporated into the mixed-methods approach. Athletes, coaches, parents, and sports administrators from a range of competitive levels participated in surveys and organized interviews. Statistical analysis was employed to analyze relationships between investment parameters and player outcomes, while theme analysis gave insights into personal experiences and problems. Result: The findings show that regular and balanced assistance from all three parties greatly improves player development, with administrative support, systematic coaching, and parental emotional support serving as important success factors. Disparities in investment, however, frequently impede the best possible player development. These factors include a lack of coaching experience, administrative inefficiencies, and budgetary limitations. Discussion: These results highlighted the need for a cooperative structure that guarantees athletes equitable and long-term assistance. The research emphasizes the value of organized mentoring programs, athlete development education for parents, and changes to sports organizations’ policies. Conclusion: The study highlights how crucial it is for coaches, parents, and administrators to work together to develop and retain top-tier athletes. In professional sports, addressing current support system inadequacies can improve athlete performance, career length, and overall success.
