Holonic thinking and systemic creativity in sport education

The holonic approach in sports education offers a new paradigm for collective tactical training, moving beyond rigid and hierarchical models. This study explores how systemic creativity enhances team performance by integrating individual autonomy with collective adaptability. Players function as holons, self-organizing units that dynamically interact within a structured system, fostering emergent tactical patterns. The research highlights how team coordination and decision-making improve when tactical structures are designed to be flexible and responsive rather than rigid. By shifting from fixed positional roles to adaptive interactions, players develop a deeper situational awareness, enhancing strategic cohesion. This study emphasizes the practical applications of holonic thinking in sports, demonstrating how it can optimize team dynamics, creativity, and performance. The findings suggest that holonic structures in training and gameplay lead to greater tactical intelligence, reinforcing the importance of self-organization and adaptive strategies in modern sports education.

Abstract

The holonic approach in sports education offers a new paradigm for collective tactical training, moving beyond rigid and hierarchical models. This study explores how systemic creativity enhances team performance by integrating individual autonomy with collective adaptability. Players function as holons, self-organizing units that dynamically interact within a structured system, fostering emergent tactical patterns. The research highlights how team coordination and decision-making improve when tactical structures are designed to be flexible and responsive rather than rigid. By shifting from fixed positional roles to adaptive interactions, players develop a deeper situational awareness, enhancing strategic cohesion. This study emphasizes the practical applications of holonic thinking in sports, demonstrating how it can optimize team dynamics, creativity, and performance. The findings suggest that holonic structures in training and gameplay lead to greater tactical intelligence, reinforcing the importance of self-organization and adaptive strategies in modern sports education.
