JAKARTA The Indonesian Olympic Committee (NOC Indonesia) through the Gender Equity, Diversion, and Inclusion Commission held an inspiring talk show entitled "Play, Plan, Prosper" as an effort to equip athletes with knowledge about future planning and financial literacy.

This activity is part of Indonesia's NOC initiative to build awareness of the importance of preparing for the transition in the life of athletes after retiring from the world of professional sports.

The talkshow was initiated in response to many athletes' concerns about their future uncertainty after their sporting career ended.

NOC Indonesia encourages a shift in the paradigm from merely looking at the body as a tool to achieve achievements, to become a valuable asset that can be developed to strengthen personal branding and long-term economic potential.

"We often hear in the stories of athletes who have difficulty adapting after retiring. Through this initiative, we want every athlete, regardless of gender or background, to have equal opportunities to achieve prosperity."

"Being an athlete also means preparing a sustainable future outside the arena," said Zavnura Pingkan, Chairman of the Gender Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Commission of NOC Indonesia.

In this talk show, Bank Mandiri also plays a role in building athletes' awareness of the importance of financial management that is wise as a sustainable foundation for the future.

Meanwhile, PT Sunthi Sepuri, actor Kenes Andari, and 'Queen of Long Distance Running Indonesia', Triyaningsih, raised the importance of protecting themselves and building a positive self-image.

Through this event, Indonesian Team athletes are invited to realize the importance of discipline, hard work, stress management, and a positive image that has been built for years.

You see, it is an asset of high value and is important for the future after his career as an athlete.

"As long as I was active as an athlete, most of my focus was only on training and competition."

"In fact, body care, injury recovery, and the way they present themselves positively and professionally both on social media, in interviews, as well as public interactions are also important. Good self-image can open up career opportunities, sponsors, and other opportunities," said Triyaningsih.
