Analysis of the Development of Chinese Retired Athletes

Abstract

News papers such as "champion athlete selling MEDALS" and "a retired professional athlete crowdfunding funds for medical treatment" are common this year. With a large number of athletes out of work after retirement, finding suitable re-employment opportunities for former athletes has become a serious problem. This paper specifically studies the causes of the difficult development of athletes after retirement, and gives corresponding suggestions according to the causes, so as to help non-top athletes get better development after retirement. Because of the long-term isolation from social training, and the lack of corresponding cultural knowledge, athletes can not be in line with the society after retirement, and even can not find a suitable job. The training methods can be changed and the corresponding cultural content can be increased to pave the way for the retirement development of these athletes. There are three good jobs for retired athletes: (1) Physical education or school physical education teacher; (2) Entertainment or media through sports; (3) Devote to the construction of sports business and develop private gyms.
