HJK is launching together with Ekkono the “Big Sister / Brother” committee with the aim of increasing community between players of all ages on the club
August 3, 2021
This program, which has already been successfully implemented by Ekkono at Paris Saint Germain, consists of HJK’s first team, B team and U-18 team players “accompaniment” to young player from the academy to instill in them the importance of club’s values.
To do so, the "Big brother" will attend the practices of their "younger brothers", analyze their matches, spend free time together and help to jointly create habits that allow them to experience and positively assimilate the Ambition.
This committee, which is expected to last over time, is led by Sanna Malaska, the head coach of the 2009 Academy for Girls, who also works at HJK as the responsible instructor of the afternoon club.
“I'm really excited about this project. I believe that this will enable us to significantly increase club unity. We will start cautiously with five pairs, but in the future, we can hopefully increase the number of participants” Malaska expresses.
