This study attempts to explore sports participation, dominant relationships and \ncontextual influences in a professional environment through the perspective of social actors within the club. Participant observation, semi-structured interviews alongside with \na field diary were the instruments used to assess how the interpersonal context, competitive environment and the organisational structure impact on youth sports participation. \nThis study has demonstrated a twofold reality, how weak organisation and good coaching create a climate that has direct implications on youth sports participation. Indeed, \nresults show that youth competitive climate and the search for status recognition, desire \nand uncertainty of professionalisation are the main characteristics of this environment. \nResearchers also acknowledged the fact that the main relationships carried out in these \nenvironments are the coach-athlete dyad in a way to foster a more pronounced mastery \nclimate. Coach and parents are important positive assets in talent development, as well as \nthe overall organisation. Significant others perceive the athletes’ competitive and professional disposition to train, to compete and to be in a constant search for sport performance. These results suggest new avenues of research in the way of youth sports talent \nmanagement and the search for sports contextual change agents. Implications for applied \npractitioners and researchers are explored
