Objective: This research was conducted to design an optimal sports talent management model through supply chain management.
Methodology: The research method was practical and qualitative. Fifteen experts were interviewed using grounded theory and Glazer's approach.
Results: The findings showed that the supply chain approach can achieve the optimal model of sports talent from six perspectives. A) The interaction of the talent system with the sports environment; B) The capacity of the supply chain of the sports talent system; C) Perspective of optimizing the management of sports talent; D) The efficiency of the processes of sports talent cultivation; M) The self-efficacy of talents in the sports path. j) The securing of the interests of the stakeholders.
Conclusion: Taking advantage of technological advances in sports talent management is necessary for "talent system interaction with sports environment." This way, significant successes can be achieved using advanced countries' interactive capacity. In the "capacity of the supply chain of the sports talent system," it is necessary to provide software and tools that facilitate the search for sports talent from the supply chain and communicate with large sports companies in the field of technology and equipment in this process. In "optimizing sports talent management," it is necessary to establish inter-organizational cooperation in the sports talent search system by concluding talent search memoranda between different organizations and coordinating and dividing labour between the country's recreational and championship sports organizations. In "Efficiency of Sports Talent Development Processes," it is necessary to provide tests for talent identification, appropriate strategic and operational plans, and essential facilities to maintain and preserve talents. From the point of view of securing the interests of the participants, it is required to improve the quality of education and training.

Among these countries, the German program is selected because of being successful and up-to-date. The method used in this research work is the Sandelowski and Barroso's (2007) 7-stage one. The process of data analysis consists of the 3 stages of open coding, concepts, and categories, and then the analysis of the talent development process in the German football. The talent process in the German football includes four stages. In order to make this program practical, it is required to close the cooperation between all the football organizations. A strategic plan is required to develop and follow based on the Iranian needs and facilities.
