Pat Fenlon told the students that 'despite all the doom and gloom due to the economic downtown, you all have a massive opportunity to pursue a career combining your main interest, Sport, with Business.' Dessie Farrell echoed these sentiments stressing the importance of education for those involved in Sport. He explained that, 'in sport there is a symbiotic relationship between the participants, coaches and administrators and the Sports Management and Coaching course at ITB incorporate all three facets'.
