The current paper aims to develop theoretical indicators of implementing talent management in Iranian sports organizations. The qualitative and grounded theory approach based on Strauss&Corbin (1998) were used. The population included 17 managers and associates, professors and responsibles of Iranian sports organizations (sports federations) who were selected by quota-sampling (snowball) procedure. Data was gathered by the semi-structured interview. The concepts obtained in the causative conditions were explained by twelve topics of politicization, lack of planning, distrust, limited participation, inefficiency of the advertising structure, discriminatory attitudes, inefficiency of the monitoring system, weakness of the coordinated, integrated and unprofessional system and morality. In contextual conditions, four topics of culture, knowledge, psychology and autonomy were extracted.In intervention conditions, four technical, environmental, managerial and structural, individual and interpersonal general areas, in the identified strategies, five main categories included internal and external challenges and the consequences of implementing talent management in sports organizations lead to the development of sports organizations at individual, organizational and process dimensions in national sports organizations. Finally, it is concluded that implementing talent management and consideration of its components in all levels of sports organizations could help to promote athletic, educational and professional national sports. It is suggested that the future researchers will explore the impact of talent management on structural, behavioral and content dimension of sports organizations.
