The aim of the current research was to identify the factors influencing the tendency of national team athletes towards championship sports in childhood. The research method was applied in terms of its nature and purpose, and descriptive and exploratory from the point of view of the analysis method, and the data was collected in the field. The statistical population included all current national team players with championship records from Khorasan-Razavi province in the number of 120 people. In order to collect the data required for the research in the qualitative part, a semi-structured in-depth interview was used. In the quantitative part, data collection was done using a researcher-made questionnaire. Data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that 7 main concepts including individual skills indicators, economic index, social index, education, reputation, management index, media and press are effective on the tendency of national team athletes towards championship sports in childhood. The ranking of the effective indicators showed that the management index had the highest rank. By targeting the reasons for the tendency of children and teenagers towards championship sports, it is possible to make talent management in sports federations more effective and avoid spending a lot of money and time as well as trial and error.
