Difficult Struggle for the Future Athletes

Difficult Struggle for the Future Athletes

BEHIND THE glitter of frenetic achievement and glamoritas that descend in the golden age of the athletes, some of us may have forgotten how the life of the athletes in the future.
It is inevitable, for this one, let us, the athletes themselves might forget how it goes after kebintangannya dim future. Athletes underwent an increasingly complex reality of life after removal of its attributes as an athlete.
Lucky if they have a side business and other skills outside of sport, if not? Economic life is not impossible that they are far below standard. Many factors make the athlete living among the marginal, after they proclaimed Indonesia Raya in the sports arena. In addition to the lack of government attention, all passed away to each individual.
One factor, many of these sports heroes forget to set aside part of their income as their financial coffers bulging collected through the achievements of the Olympic venues. Novelty with no long-term program planning carefully, at least helped determine the line of their lives later.
Not just a question of mere bag, education too often they leave aside for the sake of reaping the gold medal. Bak simalakama eat fruit, this situation can not be separated from the lives of the athletes. Well, look in the mirror from the other side, making Indonesia Sports Foundation (Yoi) moved to help these athletes in order to prosper.
According to the consultant Yoi, Robert Nio's vision and mission Yoi not improve the lives of other athletes with a variety of categories. Yoi inspiration to improve the welfare of a very simple matter, stems from their concern over the fate of sportsmen who live on the verge of poverty.
In the open discussion was held and attended spectator sports Yoi Rendra Soedjono National swimmer and former athlete, John D. Item, Robert said. "A boxing champion once told me" Being a champion boxing difficult, but it is more difficult to be a scavenger. '"
Cash only, invitation to the event was a short pause, as if he did not believe so ironically the atelt life in Indonesia. "But the fact is this, if any of you (reporters) want to see him I will give her address," continued Robert.
Later, Yoi alone will not ask for help from the government but from the community and sports enthusiasts who respect their commitment to improve the quality of life Yoi athletes. Some ways to do Yoi is through health insurance and education programs. Yoi was opened up with the help of others can be self-funding and effort.
Real-life athletes in the future is quite unfortunate, especially by Renda who have professional athletes in addition to the management side as busy a sports presenter on a private television station. He told me, how difficult it is to convince athletes to set aside some revenue to be invested or used as a handle in the old days.
"I do this for the future of his own so he could invest. I gave it to their parents or have made a special account so that money could be used to invest or hold in the old days later, "said Renda. "Athletes also need enlightenment, they also have to manage their money, either by saving money. Because the development of sport in Indonesia is very good and has become the industry, "he continued.
Rendra aware, there are many ways you can do various circles to help a decent living standard for athletes. He pointed out how Germany treats athletes who excel. In addition to providing cash bonuses and a variety of collateral, the German sports committee also provides scholarships to child athletes in stages, starting from elementary school through college. "I hope the move could be done in Indonesia," he hoped.
However, Renda continues, there is also a sweet story of the athletes after leaving his career in the sports world in which Bob Hippy who initiated the founding of the U.S. soccer school-IOP and Rudy Hartono who manages to be CEO of a vehicle engine lubricants which are affiliated to the United States.
As with the John D. Item, the athlete pool is very lucky. Fat man who has contributed much in five SEA Games gold this opportunity to receive education up to the United States, having previously felt the college at the University of Indonesia until it was President Director of Danareksa Investment Managements.
According to John, all the athletes actually have a chance to reach success outside of sports, because they have been accustomed to competing with a strong tradition of hard work and have a strong team work, is the capital for success.
"Athletes have a seed for the championship in various areas of life. They used to compete and work hard, and have a reliable team work to achieve success in all areas. I always try to practice the faster 0.1 seconds per day, "said John analogize the hard work of a man who owned an athlete to succeed. "The time is 0.1 seconds allowed me to America," he continued.
If not us who cared for athletes, who will? After they took pains waving red and white on the world sporting stage, is now our turn to help them improve their lives kesejahateraan. Are you interested?
