(School of Physical Education,Huazhong Normal University,Wuhan 430079,China) Abstract: Based on their in-depth study of the construction of athlete comprehensive education systems abroad, the authors dissected and retrospected the conceptions and practice of the development of athlete comprehensive educa-tion in China, and drew the following conclusions: athlete cultivation in China deviates generally from the major environment for education; at the basic education stage there is a lack of cultural education, so the comprehensive capacities of athletes are universally kind of low; the functional cooperation between the education system and sports system is still at the preliminary stage; the athlete assignment mechanism covers a too narrow area and fo-cuses too much on links in stead of processes, and there is a lack of a corresponding sports career planning organi-zation. The author proposed to establish an athlete comprehensive education system with Chinese features by pro-moting “competition integrated education”. The author put forward the following measures: specify the ideology of competition integrated guidance for the construction of the athlete comprehensive education system; follow the cur-rently effective sports and education management systems and running mechanisms and provide institutional assur-ance for competition integrated education based on national circumstances; optimize and integrate cultural educa-tion and sports education resources, and realize “multi-channel” assignment; establish a professionalized athlete ca-reer planning organization.
