Research on the Core Connotation and Practical Path of Integrating the Three-Creation Spirit into Talent Cultivation in Higher Vocational Sports Colleges

Based on the context of talent cultivation in higher vocational sports colleges in the new era, this paper systematically elaborates on the core connotation, practical pathways, and educational models surrounding the deep integration of the "spirit of innovation, creation, and entrepreneurship" (the "three-creation spirit"). Amid China's ongoing digital transformation and comprehensive upgrading of vocational education, vocational colleges should aim to promote high-quality development by integrating the "three-creation spirit" throughout the entire process of cultivating sports professionals. Grounded in the goal of shaping the distinctive characteristics of vocational education, this approach supports the upgrading of the sports industry and contributes to Chinese-style modernization. The study analyzes the essential meaning of incorporating the "three-creation spirit" into talent cultivation from three dimensions: policy-driven initiatives, systemic transmission mechanisms, and skill-based advancement. It proposes a practice-oriented path guided by "distinctive leadership" and "quality-first" principles. This paper demonstrates the systematic nature and feasibility of integrating the "three-creation spirit" into talent development at vocational sports colleges, exploring a model that embeds this spirit throughout the moral and technical education process. The findings offer theoretical references and practical guidance for reforming sports vocational education and enhancing the supply of high-quality talents.
