The greatest joy in life lies in sharing. The best status of the industry is a win-win situation, and the same is true for the sports industry. If the current sports industry is likened to the vast ship in the vast sea, then every part of the sports industry chain, such as sports capital, sports events, sports training, stadiums, etc., is the engine, propeller, steering wheel, and so on of this huge ship. Part of the concerted effort can make this ship a huge ocean-going ship, and it can highlight the value of each part. On another level, the development of the sports industry also applies to the barrel effect—the shortest board determines the capacity of the barrel. Therefore, various industries in the sports industry should embrace the development of the group. While making big cakes, they also realize their own social value and economic value.



Based on this concept, the high-level closed-door seminar on the sports capital of the ninth period of the Banking Business School was held in Nanjing and brought together sports entrepreneurs from sports parks, stadiums, sports training, sports events, sports capital, sports tourism, etc. At the same time, Dr. Anfuxiu represented the U.S. team of U.S. study tours in the United States and gave a sharing session on the theme “American study tour” to the participants, sharing what the team felt during the study tour in the United States.



Here, it is necessary to introduce the U.S. Bank of U.S. study tour in the United States in July. The visit lasted 12 days from July 12 to July 23.

The sports resorts also conducted in-depth exchanges with their top officials; not only that, the delegation also attended many lectures specially arranged by the American sports professors.



Dr. An Fuxiu’s visit to the United States at the end of the 9th session of the Sports Capital High-End Retreat Seminar was based on personal insights from field visits and exchanges with the US sports industry. Perhaps the conclusion is not necessarily correct, but hopes to use his own experience to add a little spice from the United States for the development of the sports industry.

Football secondary league, English name UNITEDSTASTES FOOTBALL LEAGUE. Some members of this project management team come from the first-level football league NFL.
