The purpose of this study was to describe the perception of coaches towards athletes who pursue education outside the region. Method This type of research is qualitative. This research was carried out on FORKI karate athletes in Sungai Penuh City who continued their education outside the region, this research was carried out at the FORKI Dojo in Sungai Penuh City. The type of data in this study consists of primary and secondary data. Participants in the study were 9 people with the criteria of FORKI karate coaches, athletes, and administrators. The instrument used in this study was an interview. Results show that while continuing education outside the region provides opportunities for athletes to develop academic abilities and skills in their sports careers that support their success in karate, coaches also face challenges related to limited training time, difficult communication, and limitations in providing optimal coaching to athletes who are far from their home regions. Athlete constraints have the potential to affect the physical and technical development of athletes if not managed properly
