Abstract

Evaluating the status quo and identifying the obstacles are considered the first steps of the strategic planning. Consequently, we can propose solutions and develop appropriate plans. Thirty one elite weightlifting coaches were chosen to take their perceptions on the most important obstacles facing the Educational-Training Environment (ETE) of the junior weightlifters. A questionnaire was developed until it reached 10 domains and 51 items. Tri-scale was used to express the participants' views on the questionnaire items. The questionnaire internal consistency was estimated using Cronbach's Alpha coefficient (α = 0.916) and value of reliability using the Spearman-Brown coefficient (r = 0. 873 significant at the 0.01 level, 2-tailed = 0.000). Thirty five out of 50 questionnaires were returned to the researchers in February 2014. Four invalid were excluded, therefore the study was limited to 31 questionnaires. Data was processed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS. Percentage and Chi-Square were used to identify the response direction. Priority of obstacles within each domain of the ten domains was arranged according to the relative weight. The ten domains were arranged according to the average of each domain relative weights. Results indicated the strongest obstacles were associated with funding sources and budget (average of RWs = 0.4236). Obstacles associated with community culture, school, social-economic situation, media and security came in the second place (average of RWs = 0.45372). Obstacles related to learning-training programs and activities came third (average of RWs = 0.4659) and those related to the facilities in the fourth one (average of RWs = 0.4713). Starting to make a future strategy of educational-training environment for weightlifting juniors in the light of study results is an urgent requirement. Without a proper planning, perfect selection of athletes and an ideal application the desired goals will not be achieved.
