Rio Paralympics 2016 blog: Mark Rohan

Mark Rohan, from Ballynahown, near Athlone, is a former Westmeath U21 footballer who was left paralysed, from the chest down, after a road accident in 2001. He will be writing a monthly blog in the build-up to the 2016 Paralympic Games. Here is his first post.

I’ve just completed an MBA in Sport Management at the European University of Madrid which is a graduate school for Real Madrid. My final project presentations took place on the 30th of June and I just received the news that we passed and we received some good feedback, so I have literally, just finished, though I still have a six-week internship to complete. I’m heading to London to do it at Wembley!

There’s a university called University College of Football Business there that is partnered with the FA, Man City and Burnley and they also have a link with Real Madrid.
