Learning to Play: A “Hedgehog Concept” for Physical Education

Abstract

To determine a hedgehog concept, according to Collins, an organization should clearly answer the following three questions: (1) What are we deeply passionate about? (2) What can we be the best in the world at and/or what can we not be the best in the world at? (3) What drives our resource engine? The hedgehog concept emerges from the answers to these three questions. For the field of physical education, answering these questions can serve as a valuable exercise that may help us better understand our primary purpose.
