As a result, this study aimed to develop indicators for the selection of coaches and athletes of the national team of weightlifting and the degree of importance of each of these indicators. The statistical population of the study was knowledgeable individuals in the field of weightlifting and the statistical sample was divided into two sections, which were compiled in the section for the development of indicators for reaching theoretical saturation with 20 knowledgeable interviewers and indicators. In the section on determining the importance of indicators, the indexes were compiled by a questionnaire to 70 people who were informed about weightlifting to determine the importance of these indicators. The tool was also divided into two sections: (a) Interviews with individuals through the 360 degree technique and a library study for compiling indicators that was semi-structured. B) In the survey section, the indexes were compiled by questionnaires. The TOPSIS method was used to analyze the data and prioritize the identified items. The results of the research show that the indicators of the selection of educators in order of importance were individual characteristics, management characteristics, technical and tactical characteristics, social characteristics, personality traits and communication and motivational characteristics. In the athletes' section, individual characteristics, technical and tactical characteristics, personality traits, managerial characteristics, communication and motivational characteristics, and social characteristics were most important, respectively. As a result, the Weightlifting Federation is recommended to focus on the selection of coaches and athletes.
