Analysis of Elite Sports Development Patterns through Sports Education

Abstract

Elite sports are one of the keys to developing sports as enshrined in the Sports Law. In this law, sport is positioned as an instrument for national development. However, it is more dominated by the sports development paradigm, even though Indonesia's sports achievements have significantly developed in several international sports competitions. It is contributed through the coaching factor through sports training education from an early age under the auspices of sports education at the school level. However, the impact has not been able to influence other aspects of national development more broadly. It has become a gap between what is stated in the Sports Law and practice in the field. Therefore, this research aims to examine the implementation of elite sports policies as part of the Sports Law to realize development through sports. To achieve the objectives of this study, we designed eleven semi-structured interview indicators based on the essence of the elite sports section of the sports law. This study found that the implementation of applied elite sports policies was close to conformity with the sports law. However, on the other hand, there are still shortcomings and inequities in several aspects. Inequality in several aspects occurs due to a lack of understanding of the importance of the role of sport as an instrument of national development. Therefore, the government as a stakeholder must immediately act decisively to deal with the problems. The implications of this research can be considered for evaluating the implementation of policies that will be implemented in the future/
