Abstract

This study employs documentary analysis and logical deduction methodologies to systematically examine the current developmental status of youth football coaching professionals in China, analyze the constraining factors impeding industry advancement, and propose optimization pathways. The research posits that establishing a multi-tiered training system would enhance coaching competencies, refining incentive mechanisms could strengthen professional appeal, balanced resource allocation would facilitate rational talent mobility, and innovative sports-education integration models would standardize school football development. Through multidimensional optimization, this approach promotes the systematic development of youth football coaching teams, elevates youth training quality, and ultimately enhances China's competitive performance in football.
