An eternal battle for glory. The greatest sport in the world. Football. Over one hundred years ago, in England, the sport was invented, and along with its rules, teams, and competitions came the fans. Football Fans are some of the most passionate beings on the planet. The relationship they build with their team is perhaps the only constant throughout their whole life. So, in this edition of The Mindsets, we’ll explore the qualities, virtues and skills that make Football Fans such strong minds. As legendary manager Arsene Wegner explains, “If you do not believe you can do it, then you have no chance at all.”
1. Passionate
Football Fans use their passion to strengthen their team. Football Fans are one of the pillars of their sport. Their roaring and eternal passion often strengthen their team in the most challenging moments to fight back. Whether sitting in the stadium, in a pub or at home, they are always driven by pure passion for 90 minutes as their team fights for the win. The passion they offer is the foundation of the size of the sport, as it’s what drives them to moments of euphoria, sadness and all in between. So, as Football Fans do, be passionate when supporting or chasing what you are fighting for, and use that fuel to be there no matter what.
2. Realistic
Football Fans must be realistic to comprehend their team’s situation. Even though their passion is their driving force, Football Fans depend on their realism, too. There is only one champion per league each season. Some teams fight for the title, and others to avoid relegation. Some are at the climax of their greatest era, and others are at their worst. Football Fans’ realism helps them understand their football club’s situation and how to deal with it. It permits them to analyse and comprehend what’s working and what isn’t and build an opinion. Similarly, we mustn’t fear taking the team to accept things are not working, but we should take the time to understand the reason for this and build solutions to our hardships.
3. Unconditionality
Football Fans unconditionally support the team they devote their lives to. True Football Fans know there is no correlation between the amount of passion they feel and the club’s situation. Football Fans are always there in the highs and lows. They are equally present when they win the league year after year and when they are struggling to fight for it. They are unconditional to what they have printed in their hearts and minds. Football Fans are always one with their club, always. Therefore, we must remember to always stay true to who we are and who we love. We must be unconditional to ourselves and what we hold close, never giving up no matter how tough the challenge is.
Football Fans are some of the strongest minds in society. The ability to hold on to a single team for a lifetime and be there always is one of the most gratifying and challenging situations they put themselves in. So be passionate about what you love. But also be realistic, and even though it shouldn’t affect the fire and love you feel, understand where you stand and, most importantly, why. And finally, be eternally unconditional to yourself, those you love and what you chase. So, we now invite you to adopt The Football Fan’s Mindset as we all learn from their mastering of relentlessly chasing their dream, accepting and understanding where they stand, and being true to what they love.
