This study examines the role of strategic upskilling in enhancing the competitive performance of Taekwondo athletes. Taekwondo requires not only technical skills, physical fitness, flexibility, and speed, but also tactical awareness, decision-making, opponent reading, emotional control, and match planning. Strategic upskilling helps athletes use their techniques at the right time and in the right situation during competition. It enables players to adapt to changing match condi-tions, manage pressure, control distance, and select suitable attacking or defensive actions. The study highlights that athletes with strong strategic skills perform more confidently and effective-ly in competitive situations. Therefore, strategic upskilling plays an important role in improving overall Taekwondo performance and preparing athletes for higher-level competitions.
