Abstract：
This case study utilized the holistic ecological approach (HEA) to explore a successful athletic talent development environment (ATDE) in China. As a case, we selected a basketball team in one Shanghai sport-friendly high school with outstanding individual and team achievements and aimed at (a) describing the ATDE, and (b) identifying environmental success factors (ESF). Using participant observations, document analysis, informal talks, and formal interviews with key stakeholders, including coaches, teachers, athletes, and administrators from sports and education departments, we derived the ATDE and ESF empirical models. The findings showed that (a) the ATDE demonstrated effective interactions between macro- and micro-levels, and (b) the experienced head coach, dedicated assistant coach, and support from athletes\' parents contributed to overcoming barriers of preconditions (e.g., limited financial and human resources) within the environment. Further, a coherent and robust cultural paradigm led by the head coach helped the environment maintain its success for a long period. Although some features are similar to successful ATDEs in other countries, unique characteristics (e.g., not prioritizing athletes\' autonomy) specific to this ATDE within the Chinese cultural context have been identified. Our findings supplement current studies on ATDEs using the HEA and reflect the environment within Chinese context, offering insights for researchers and practitioners.
摘要：
本案例研究利用整体生态方法（HEA）来探索中国成功的运动人才培养环境（ATDE）。作为一个案例,我们在上海一所体育友好型高中中选择了一支具有杰出个人和团队成就的篮球队，旨在（a）描述ATDE，(b)确定环境成功因素(ESF)。使用参与者的观察，文档分析,非正式会谈,以及与主要利益相关者的正式访谈，包括教练，教师,运动员,以及体育和教育部门的管理人员，我们推导了ATDE和ESF经验模型。研究结果表明，(a)ATDE展示了宏观和微观层面之间的有效相互作用，和(b)经验丰富的总教练，敬业的助理教练，运动员父母的支持有助于克服先决条件的障碍(例如，有限的财政和人力资源)。Further,由总教练领导的连贯和强大的文化范式帮助环境长期保持成功。尽管某些功能与其他国家/地区的成功ATDE相似，独特的特征(例如，在中国文化背景下，不优先考虑运动员的自主权）已确定。我们的发现补充了目前使用HEA对ATDE的研究，并反映了中国背景下的环境，为研究人员和从业人员提供见解。
