This investigation was carried out with the aim of recognition of the agents affecting the Iranian studentsport talent identification in the total information management system.The present investigation is fundamental interms of objective and qualitative of content analysis type in terms of methodology in which21 people of pundits were selected by the snowball sampling method and interviewed in depth.Data collection was continued until achievement to the complete data saturation and data analysis was carried out through subject content analysis method. Validity of the research was confirmed on the basis of 6 criteria of Skinner, Edwards and Corbett(2014), i.e. long-term involvement, sustainable observation, re-examination of data acquisition path, checking by participants, triangulation and continuous comparison. Also, reliability was reported using the reliability retest. From data analysis, four major categories including1)target setting,2)talent identification agents,3)talent identification barriers, and4) structural agents and22 sub-categories were obtained. It may be stated that existence of a total information management system for student sport talent identification is very essential because it was specified that the topics of budget, absorbing the financial sponsors, and investment in holding the programs of student sport talent identification did not make sense. Hence, having an information management system for student sport talent identification in country helps managersdetermine the shortcomings using the output of the system, proceed to gain extra budget from other organizations and/or absorb financial sponsors, and assure that the budget supports all activities before holding a student sport talent identification program and that they will not be affected by defects and debts.
