Abstract

Family economic conditions are a crucial determinant of athlete performance, particularly during the training and development stages of a sports career. This study aims to examine the relationship between family economic conditions and athlete performance and the urgency of a social approach within the sports training system. Based on literature review and previous empirical findings, adequate family economic conditions contribute to optimal athlete performance through the provision of basic needs such as nutrition, training facilities, sports equipment, and participation in competitions. This research uses qualitative methods. Qualitative methods aim to understand the meaning behind behavior, experiences, and individuals' perspectives on a phenomenon in a deep and contextual manner. This research was conducted in Sinjai Regency, with 50 athletes from various sports branches as research subjects. The research focuses on two main variables, namely family support (independent variable) and athlete performance (dependent variable). Data collection techniques in this study include semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. Field data shows that differences in family emotional and financial support create significant variation in athletes' physical and mental readiness to compete. Social inequality in sports creates dynamics that reflect disparities in society. According to Sarason , family support can be emotional, instrumental, and financial. Access becomes a major issue, with participants from higher social strata more easily accessing facilities and support compared to those from lower strata, who face obstacles. The structure of sports competitions functions as an extension of this inequality, affecting competition outcomes. These findings indicate that improving athletic performance can be achieved not only through intensive training, but also requires social interventions and supportive policies.
