For me, EMDI was a very sudden thing. Sports have always been a passion and I decided to convert my passion to profession. Ironwood helped me with that greatly. What caught my attention was that Ironwood offers India's ONLY sports management course with an opportunity to get hands-on experience in Dubai. The global exposure gave me a one of its kind opportunity to experience international sports events up close first hand. I would recommend any person from any field to take up this course if sports is constantly on their mind. Thank you Ironwood Sports Management Global Academy
