Abstract

Understanding the dimensions of organizational culture and how they influence a sports club's management is fundamental to achieving sustainability in sports excellence.

Aim: Through an intrinsic case study, this paper aims to understand how the organizational culture of a futsal department in a multisport club was transformed and sustained by its members.

Results: The participants were a General Manager, a Head Coach, and a Youth Coach, all with over 20 years of experience in the MTC club. A collective timeline, individual interviews, and focus groups were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.

Conclusion: The results revealed that leaders, learning experiences, competitive results, and articulation and fixation mechanisms were identified as drivers of cultural transformation aimed at the holistic sports training of young athletes.
