Abstract:
LTAD (Long-Term Athlete Development) is the result of the thoughts of Dr. Istvan Balyi, an expert in planning, periodization, and performance improvement through short and long-term training programs (Jeffreys, 2019). LTAD consists of three multi-stage components: competition, training, and recovery, usually starting from the age of 6 to 16 years old (Dowling & Washington, 2021). LTAD recommendations based on expert opinions suggest an age range (i.e., 12-15 years) to commence specialized sports training in disciplines such as boxing, canoeing, cycling, weightlifting, etc., while other sports (e.g., gymnastics, swimming, etc.) require an earlier initiation (i.e., 6-9 years). The National Sports Development Program (Desain Besar Olahraga Nasional or DBON) is a program initiated by the Ministry of Youth and Sports for the long-term development of athletes, known as LTAD (Long-Term Athlete Development). DBON serves as the center for athlete development, currently comprising four centers located at various universities in Indonesia. Presently, there are only four centers, namely: Jakarta State University, Indonesia University of Education, Semarang State University, and Surabaya State University. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive, where data collection involves in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Data analysis occurs after data collection, and at this stage, the researcher is actively engaged in the presentation or display of the previously collected and analyzed data. In qualitative research, this often involves organizing narrative texts. The theme of this interview is to evaluate the DBON (National Sports Development Program) for the swimming branch at the Surabaya center. The interview focuses on the training and competitions experienced by the athletes. The informant for this interview is the swimming coach from DBON. Some key topics in this interview include: the athlete's specialization in their sports branch, the athlete's motivation during the training program, challenges faced by the coach, and information regarding the absence of a degradation system
