Research on the Performance Management of Chinese University Football Teams: Based on the Qualitative Perspective of Coaches

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the performance management of Chinese university football teams.

Methods: We used the explanatory research paradigm to conduct in-depth interviews with 15 Chinese college football team coaches and administrators, which was the main source of empirical data.

Results: Coaches and administrators gave a holistic description of the performance planning, implementation and evaluation of college sports teams. They found that class management affects the systematic development of football team training; there is a contradiction between learning and training; the competition management is not in place; a lack of funds, medical care, etc.

Conclusion: The results show that using the balanced scorecard method to evaluate the performance management of university sports teams can improve the performance management of sports teams, this includes listening to the voice of the players, meeting the needs of the players, and focusing on the health, welfare and sustainable performance of the players.
