Irene Villa is a journalist, lecturer and was summoned by Cholo Simeone at Atlético. She says a sense of humor saved her..
She often says that as a child she had no vocation, but that they encouraged her to enter communication because they told her that she spoke with eyes and smiles. She never lost her smile and managed to get ahead with a lot of positivism and strength, the same that has helped her overcome the psychological and physical sequelae. She is in a couple, has three children (11, 8 and 7) and is an outstanding Paralympic athlete.
