  • Abstract

    In modern sports systems, especially within coaching specialties, the application of strategic management principles has become a key ‎determinant of sustainable success. This article explores the strategic planning and implementation of sports activities under the conditions of ‎strategic management in the context of coaching education and practice. The study identifies the necessity for a structured and goal-oriented ‎approach in sports planning that aligns with national development programs, international standards, and the individual needs of athletes.‎

    The research discusses the integration of strategic management tools—such as SWOT analysis, stakeholder analysis, and long-term performance metrics—into coaching practices to enhance effectiveness and efficiency. Emphasis is placed on the alignment between strategic goals, ‎training processes, and competition outcomes. The study also highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among coaches, ‎sports scientists, administrators, and psychologists in developing flexible and adaptable strategic plans.‎

    Through a combination of theoretical frameworks and practical case studies, the article demonstrates how strategic planning can optimize ‎talent development, resource allocation, and performance evaluation in sport. Furthermore, it addresses potential challenges such as ‎resistance to change, lack of strategic awareness, and insufficient institutional support.‎

    Ultimately, the findings suggest that the application of strategic management in coaching not only improves planning and execution but also ‎ensures the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of sports programs. The article concludes with recommendations for integrating ‎strategic thinking into coach education programs and sport policy development‎.
