Abstract
The sports coaching strategy implemented by sports coaches allows athletes to be interested in or learn about the sport, to be consistent in continuing to practice, and to be at a level of training with high competition. Stakeholders in sports development range from governments and legal authorities to sports organizations and other key parties such as athletes, coaches, and sponsors. This research aims to examine elite rowing coaching by the Indonesia Rowing Sports Management Organization (PODSI) and the role of various stakeholders in supporting the sports coaching process. The research method uses the attraction, retention, transition, and nurturing (ARTN) framework to explore the role of rowing stakeholders in initiating or delivering programs and strategies. The ARTN framework was chosen because it offers a managerial and organizational (i.e., meso level) approach to studying elite athlete development. Results and Conclusions: This research suggests that the strategic process for developing elite rowing athletes in West Java consists of 3 stages, attraction, retention, and transition, depending on the PENGPROV, PENGCAB, PPLP, and several clubs in the West Java region implemented PODSI initiation. Meanwhile, at the nurturing stage, the implementation of elite athlete management was mainly carried out by PENGPROV West Java and continued by PB PODSI at the national elite athlete stage.
