Sitting in a classroom in the Shanghai No.2 Sports School, Shen Qiong is no longer the captain of the Shanghai men's volleyball team. He is now the monitor of ""class two"" of the ""Hundred People Plan Cheap Men's Nike Shox OZ D Black Red ,"" a new coaching program for retired sports people in Shanghai.


The one-year scheme offers the city's former athletes the opportunity to comprehensively study sports-related core courses. These full-time students receive the same salary as when they were serving on their teams.


It's the first year of program and around 90 students are taking the classes. ""It guarantees an easier transition for me and seven of my former teammates, now my classmates, who are all in our 30s,"" said the 33-year-old.


Zhao Rongshan, director of the Sports Education Department at the Shanghai Administration of Sports, said the program is the first of its kind in the country.


""Athletes-turned coaches in Shanghai now have to go through this training. Our sportsmen didn't receive systematic physical education in their athletic life. This program helps pave their path to transformation.""


New paths


Before the city's finance authority decided to fund the program with several million yuan, Shanghai's sports administration had researched it for a year. The program is open to athletes who retired last year Cheap Off-White X Nike Air Vapormax Black White , or between 2010 and 2012, and are now serving as coaches or management officers in the sports system.


The courses they take include fundamental subjects like sports biomechanics, sports anatomy and sports psychology. In addition to domestic experts, professors from the US Sports Academy's International Diploma in Sports Coaching Program will also start to give lessons next month.


The original goal was to better prepare athletes for their future posts, but it's essentially about the sustainable development of sports talents, Zhao told the Global Times. ""If we cannot guarantee proper arrangements for our retired athletes, local parents would be even more unwilling to send their children to become professional sportsmen.""
