This research uses qualitative methods to investigate the role of talent management in short track speed skating, with a particular focus on the development of young athletes. The main data collection method used in the research is a semi-structured interview, which provides a deeper insight into the talent management processes in short track speed skating, the coaching
experiences and the personal experiences of the athletes. This method was chosen to collect data within a consistent framework, while also offering flexibility in the questions to include new themes and ideas that emerge during the interview. This method is particularly advantageous when the phenomena under study are complex and require in-depth understanding, as in this case the talent development processes in short track speed skating.
According to Kállay (2008), semi-structured interviews facilitate the elicitation of interviewees' personal experiences, feelings and
a detailed exploration of their motivations, which is essential to answer the research questions. Thematic analysis, one of the most common forms of qualitative data analysis, was used to process the data. This involved grouping the collected interview data into categories to identify frequently occurring patterns and themes. In this way, we gained a structured yet in depth insight into important factors in talent management.
