Affected by the epidemic, many industries have been impacted, and sports training institutions are not immune.
In an interview with the surging news reporter, the general adviser of Shanghai Jixiang Football Sports Club, former Shanghai Shenhua player and international footballer Sun Ji admitted that the youth training institution he was responsible for was also affected, "Now it is equivalent to zero income." ”
At present, Shanghai has not yet determined the opening timetable, and offline training has not yet fully "resumed work and production", the difficulties of social sports training institutions continue.
But Sun Ji said that the club will still insist, "We are all prepared for hardship, and we have to grit our teeth and work hard." ”
Sun Ji has been deeply involved in sports youth training.
The biggest difference is "easy"
In the past, after the Spring Festival holiday, when primary and secondary schools opened one after another, various sports activities for young people would resume after the suspension of the holiday, but this year, such a scene did not happen.
In the face of the sudden epidemic, in order to prevent crowd gathering, since the Spring Festival, all kinds of offline training activities across the country have been stopped, and sports training is also among them.
Sun Ji told the surging news reporter that in previous years, after the winter vacation, the young players would come back one after another to reorganize the team and devote themselves to normal training and competition, but the arrival of the epidemic made the club have to stop work, for which he could only helplessly say, "The biggest difference (from the past) is 'relaxed'." ”
"At present, there is no training, and there is no notice of the resumption of (offline training), the club is equivalent to stopping work, if there are some things, it is to work from home, or to the office to get some information."
It is understood that as one of the well-known youth football training institutions in Shanghai, the Auspicious Sports Club receives about 3,000 training sessions per week on weekdays, including elite players using club facilities for training, as well as sending coaches to schools to carry out football activities.
But recreating such a hilarious scene will have to wait, "and it may continue for some time." What we care about now is when the epidemic will end, and if school can start normally, it will not be far from the day when we can resume work. Sun Ji said.
Promise not to dismiss employees
Previously, on March 17, the Shanghai Municipal Sports Bureau had issued the Guidelines for the Resumption of Work in Sports Venues in the City During the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic (Second Edition), which stipulates that in addition to indoor swimming pools and closed sports venues that use underground space, Shanghai's sports venues are open to the public to cancel the filing and can directly resume work.
However, in the document, it is still stipulated that offline sports training activities be suspended, so the recovery of the industry will still take time.
Sun Ji told the surging news reporter that the number of full-time and part-time coaches in the club usually adds up to more than 80-90 people, while the number of full-time coaches and fixed employees is about 40 people, and the impact of the epidemic has also had an impact on coaches.
"The part-time (coach) doesn't have a job during this time, because he's settled on the basis of working hours, and if he doesn't do it, he doesn't have it." For full-time coaches, due to the relationship between the suspension of work, the income will also be affected, "and the original can not be compared, some can only get the basic salary." Some old coaches even offered not to take money and tide over the difficulties with the club, which was very touching. ”
"We also promised not to fire people, because now the club is difficult, they are more difficult, if we are fired now, where will people go?" Sun Ji said.
"I believe that after this period of time, everyone will be more united and cherished, and more willing to do a good job, so that after the effectiveness and morale are enhanced, they can make up for it when the efficiency is good in the future."

"No matter how bitter it is, you have to grit your teeth and dry it"
Sun Ji said that although the young players cannot train normally now, coaches will still assign "homework" to the elite young players through WeChat groups and other means, "arrange some simple technical action training, and if possible, the treadmill will practice physical fitness." ”
For the difficulties of the current period, Sun Ji said that he can only face the difficulties, "Now it is equivalent to zero income, fortunately, the communication in all aspects of the staff is relatively good, everyone is very united, relatively speaking, the pressure will be much less, but we are also prepared for hardship, and we have to grit our teeth and work hard." ”
"It's not easy to do, it's easy to pour. I believe that the relevant departments will come to care for us and support us. ”
Sun Ji said that after the outbreak of the epidemic, the relevant departments of sports have been concerned about the situation for the first time, and the club will also pay attention to the relevant policy rules after that, "I believe it should be helpful and supportive." ”
"I believe that after holding back (after the epidemic) for so long, the children will definitely want to come out and play football, and I am not worried about the source of students." Now take advantage of this time, we will also make some internal adjustments, such as some business adjustments, personnel delegation, in fact, also give us some time. ”
