This document discusses refocusing Indonesia's sport development initiatives. It identifies several problems with Indonesia's current sport system, including a lack of attractiveness of athletics as a profession, weak integration between sport and education, limited funding, and inadequate infrastructure. It analyzes models from South Korea and Australia that have been successful in developing elite athletes through an integrated pyramid approach focusing on both mass participation and high performance sport. The document argues Indonesia should clarify its positioning and aim to become a powerful sporting nation by improving sport experiences, establishing athletics as a career, increasing domestic competition frequency, and enabling greater private sector funding and investment in sport.
