Abstract
This study was motivated by fluctuations in the performance of Jambi City's whitewater rafting athletes and limitations in facilities and funding that could potentially hinder the sustainability of the coaching programme. Despite achieving success at provincial and national championships, the coaching system still faces challenges in the form of dependence on grant funding, limited training facilities, and the need for more structured management. This study aims to analyse the management strategies for training whitewater rafting athletes to improve their performance in Jambi City using a qualitative approach based on the Input–Process–Output (IPO) model. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with four informants who are competent in their fields, namely the General Secretary, the Performance Development Division (Binpres), coaches, and athletes. Data analysis was conducted with the help of NVivo through thematic coding and source triangulation to ensure the credibility of the findings. The results of the study show that the input aspect is supported by local government policies, KONI grant funding, human resources, and the utilisation of available facilities, although these are still limited. In terms of process, coaching was carried out through annual training plans, gradual physical and technical training, coach motivation, and periodic evaluations. In terms of output, there was an increase in performance, motivation, and athlete regeneration. These findings emphasise the importance of policy synergy, systematic management, and continuous support.
