1May 888, Coubertin pointed out that students were overworked because of heavy schoolwork: "The only solution is to let children play." At that time, Coubertin became the Secretary-General of the Preparatory Committee for Physical Education Training in French Schools. The following year, under the impetus of St. Clare, the "French Sports Federation" was established. In the same year, Coubertin represented France in the sports training conference held in Boston, USA. ?
During the meeting, he learned about the development of world sports in detail, and deeply felt that the development of modern sports was moving towards internationalization, and a number of international individual sports federations were established one after another. For example, the International Gymnastics Federation was established in 188 1, and the International Rowing Federation and the International Skating Federation were established in 1892. These organizations laid the foundation for the birth of the modern Olympic Games.
