It is no secret that the pandemic is affecting all walks of life, and sports in no exception. In order to stop the spread, athletes and players had to put a stop to group practices and training. For those competing in solo sports, it was a little less complicated but sportspersons pursuing group sports were faced with a conundrum, take the risk to train together or opt to train alone, which may be less effective. To help aspiring footballers who wanted to continue their training while not risking a potential infection, Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools (BBFS) launched an app that will allow them to train anywhere anytime effectively, while also giving them the chance to motivate each other like they do on the pitch. We find out more about BBFS and the enJogo app.
