The research tool is the standardized questionnaire of Roger et al. (2010) that the face and content validity was confirmed by several experts. Convergent, divergent and combined reliability of the questionnaire were also confirmed. The hypotheses related to the relationship between research variables and model fit were tested by modeling structural equations using SMART PLS3 software and the hypotheses related to the qualitative status of research variables were tested by a binomial test by SPSS26 software.Test findings hypotheses related to the relationships of research variables showed the significance of the effect of goals on the process, resources on the process, opportunities on the process, goals on the results, process and results, process the consequence, results the consequence in the talent management system. Of course, the effect of necessity on process, resources and results, opportunities and results, and necessities on significant results was not reported. Test findings hypotheses related to the status of technology quality of the research variables indicated the appropriate status of the quality technology of the goals in wrestling and the inadequate status of the quality of the technology of the goals in other sports. Also, the quality of resources, opportunities, necessities, process, results and consequences in all related sports was unsatisfactory. Therefore, it can be concluded that sports teams that pay attention to all stages of talent management and have proper performance in the structure and process, this will lead to positive results and consequences.
