dc.descriptionWe argue that traditional Western science cannot adequately describe sports and other types of human behavior. Then we make an argument why a complex adaptive systems approach has the potential to provide the foundation for such a theory. We claim that a special role will be played by biological quantum computation in the human brain that should have emerged through biological evolution. Biological quantum computation could have provided evolutionary advantages in the area of decision-making and fast motor responses, when a number of potential actions -represented as a set of points in a high dimensional state-space- are available to the agent. While for animals and early humans these rapid, coordinated motor activities had direct survival value, today they are mostly manifested in competitive sports events. We suggest that entanglement can be facilitated by systematic sports coaching.
