Abstract

Based on the concept of holistic education, this paper systematically explores the current situation, problems, and optimization paths of basketball talent cultivation in Chinese universities. It points out that existing practices in college basketball education are characterized by overly narrow training goals, closed curriculum structures, insufficient practical platforms, and one-sided evaluation systems. Excessive emphasis is placed on athletic performance while neglecting the comprehensive development of students’ qualities. To address these issues, the paper proposes systematic innovations in four areas—training objectives, curriculum content, practice platforms, and evaluation mechanisms. It advocates building a “skills + literacy + character” integrated cultivation model, and promoting teaching collaboration, faculty development, open learning environments, and individualized growth. In this way, basketball education can shift from a “competition-oriented” to a “student-oriented” approach, ultimately fostering students’ physical, psychological, cognitive, and social development.
