China News Service, March 28 (Reporter Li Shuzheng) China's first public welfare entrepreneurship training class for athletes was launched in Shanghai on the 28th.
More than 30 outstanding athletes from 15 provinces and cities in China will participate in a 7-day charity entrepreneurship training.
As an important body and organizational platform of fitness activities, sports social organizations have unique functions in stimulating the vitality of national fitness, providing public sports services, popularizing sports technology, organizing sports competitions, and cultivating sports talents to meet the people's growing sports needs. .
China's "14th Five-Year Plan" and the 2035 long-term goal outline also pointed out that it is necessary to "build a strong country in sports, develop national fitness sports, and enhance people's physical fitness."
Statistics show that at present, on average, there is only one formal sports social organization for every 9,660 physical exercisers in China, and there are problems such as small number, small scale, weak ability, lack of talents, and lack of professionalism.
Officials here stated that retired athletes play a unique role in driving national fitness, promoting the development of sports projects, and spreading sportsmanship. Supporting athletes to participate in the establishment of sports social organizations has important social value.
However, according to the survey, only 17% of athletes have an understanding of sports social organizations, and 57.5% of those who are willing to start.
At the launching ceremony, Yang Yang, China's first Winter Olympic champion and chairman of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Athletes Committee, shared with the athletes his own experience and feelings about establishing a champion fund and Feiyang Ice Sports Club.
"As athletes, we used to win glory for the country on the stadium," Yang Yang said on the same day: "Today and in the future, we look forward to your professional advantages and role models. Through the establishment of youth sports clubs and other sports social organizations, we will promote national fitness and build a strong sports nation. Contribute to the realization of our new mission and responsibility in life."
"Create your sports social organization"-Athlete Charity Entrepreneurship Training Class was initiated by the Champion Fund.
According to officials, this training course aims to expand athletes’ horizons, stimulate enthusiasm for charity entrepreneurship, help athletes master the knowledge and skills to establish sports social organizations, and open up a new track for athletes’ career development and entrepreneurial innovation.
