- 概要
- This embedded single-case study examined how senior organisational stakeholders in the Canadian speed skating systemdescribed the translation of long-term athlete development (LTAD) principles into organisational practice. Drawing onsemi-structured interviews with three high-information key stakeholders involved in LTAD development and implemen-tation-two of whom had extensive coaching experience at both regional club and national team levels-we re-examinedinterview transcripts using reflexive thematic analysis. To strengthen empirical grounding and enable triangulation con-sistent with case study standards, we added systematic document analysis of key organisational artefacts. Thefindingsshow how a generic national LTAD framework was culturally and sport-specifically adapted, embedded into organisa-tional structures, and iteratively refined through evaluative feedback. Four interrelated themes were generated: (1) cul-tural and sport-specific adaptation of LTAD, (2) organisational integration through coach education and multisportpathways, (3) systematising collaboration across stakeholders, and (4) evaluative feedback and iterative improvement.Together, these themes illustrate how LTAD moved from an abstract policy document to a speed skating-specific systemembedded in coaching qualifications, multisport education, and governance partnerships. Rather than treating policy-practice tensions as simple implementation failure, we interpret them as translation dynamics that require organisationallearning and ongoing adjustment. We conclude that effective athlete development systems require coordinated organisa-tional action, cultural adaptation, and sustained dialogue between federations, institutes and coaches, rather than relianceon policy documents alone. Thefindings offer practical insights for national governing bodies seeking to design or refineevidence-informed athlete development pathways.
