Success Cannot Exist Without Passion
Those who know me personally know that I am a supporter of the Western Sydney Wanderers in the A-League, Australia's top tier football competition.
I was inspired to write this thought piece by a tifo, or banner to the football layman, which put forward the idea that 'success cannot exist without passion', something which is just as relevant for the team's coach Tony Popovic, who was immortalised on the banner, as it is for innovation and entrepreneurship.
But first, some context. The banner was unfurled on a day in which the Wanderers faced the Brisbane Roar in the semi-finals for a ticket to the grand final. The Wanderers were twice previously vanquished at the final hurdle by the Roar and so no doubt faced significant mental adversity.
This adversity was made all the more difficult when the Wanderers, playing on home soil, found themselves 3-0 down within 23 minutes of kick-off.
However, in a dramatic turn of events, the Wanderers soon found themselves on equal footing less than 30 minutes later, eventually winning the game in extra time 5-4. Sounds crazy right? You can watch the video recap here.
