The present study aimed to analyze the perception of athletes, technicians and directors in relation to the TOP Project (Olympic Talent Paranaense). The TOP is executed with resources coming from the Government of the State of Paraná, with direct sponsorships and tax incentives. This seeks to benefit athletes with cash aid grants, with the intention of avoiding the evasion of athletes and technicians from the state of Paraná, leaving it in a better condition for the development of its activities. The work was methodologically organized from the type of Quali-Quanti research, still having, a descriptive character. The instrument used for the data collection was a semi-structured interview with a non-fixed script; a digital recorder and a notebook for notes. The population studied was composed by those involved in the Talent Olympic Project of the State of Paraná, being a sample of 4 technicians of the modality of athletics, 4 directors and 8 athletes. The analysis of the results was initiated through the readings of 16 interviews transcribed by the researcher, and throughout these readings a process of categorization of responses was carried out to facilitate their analysis. From this, the data were presented in tables and frames for a better understanding of the results. With the research it was verified that the answers presented by the athletes are simpler, and search to express their side, pointing out only what matters at the moment, which is to guarantee the scholarship for the next stages of the Project nd receive the cash that the project has committed to give. It is conclude, therefore, that the perception of the athletes is different in relation to the directors and technicians, because they are in a different hierarchical position, exercising different roles of one another, however, the perceptions of managers and technicians are similar, where they arrived in similar answers regarding the TOP in the state.  O presente estudo visou analisar a percepção de atletas, treinadores e dirigentes em relação ao Projeto TOP (Talento Olímpico Paranaense). O estudo foi organizado metodologicamente a partir do tipo de pesquisa Quali-Quanti, tendo ainda, caráter descritivo. O instrumento utilizado para a coleta de dados foi uma entrevista semiestruturada com roteiro não fixo; um gravador digital e caderno para anotações. Como amostra contou-se com 16 indivíduos, sendo 4 treinadores da modalidade de atletismo que possuem atletas dentro do projeto; 4 dirigentes (2 da Federação de Atletismo do Paraná e 2 dois dirigentes da Secretária de Esporte e Turismo do Paraná) e 8 atletas do Atletismo. A análise dos resultados foi iniciada por meio das leituras de 16 entrevistas transcritas pelo pesquisador, e ao longo dessas leituras foi realizado um processo de categorização de respostas para facilitar sua análise. A partir disso, os dados foram apresentados em tabelas e quadros para melhor compreensão dos resultados. Com a pesquisa constatou-se que as respostas apresentadas pelos atletas são mais simples, e procuram expressar o lado deles, apontando apenas o que interessa no momento, que é garantir a bolsa para as próximas etapas do projeto e receber a quantia em dinheiro que o projeto se comprometeu a fornecer. Conclui-se, portanto, que a percepção dos atletas é diferente em relação a dos Dirigentes e Treinadores, pois encontram-se em uma posição hierárquica distinta, exercendo papéis diferentes um dos outros, entretanto, a percepção dos dirigentes e treinadores são parecidas, os quais chegaram em respostas semelhantes em relação ao TOP no estado.ABSTRACT.
