As the reform of professional sports in China enters a critical phase, it faces a series of operational risks. To systematically address these issues, comprehensive and further deepening of reforms is necessary. Guided by the goal of better meeting the needs of the people, the key focus of the reform lies in the institutional and mechanism changes, with the task of promoting high-quality development of professional sports. For further comprehensive and deepened reforms, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the current national and sports conditions, as well as the development status of professional sports in China. It is also important to accurately grasp the operational laws of professional sports, the laws of reform and development in China, and the laws of the times. It is imperative to remain steadfast in adhering to the principles of China’s characteristics, market-oriented reforms, and the laws governing professional sports. The reform practice should center around optimizing the relationship between the government and the market, overcoming the institutional and mechanism obstacles that have emerged in the unique context of professional sports in China. It should be guided by the goal of serving the development strategy of building a sports power, by establishing and improving an organizational leadership system that ensures the implementation of goals. Emphasizing the decisive role of the market, innovative institutional environments conducive to high-quality development should be created. Enhancing core competitiveness should be the driving force, addressing the shortcomings for sustainable development. Finally, the focus should be on the construction of the rule of law, strengthening the foundation and improving the guarantee system.
