No matter how complex the situation is, I will get it done, no excuses.
Grit. The fact that I am willing to pursue a career in sports when it isn't the norm in my home country shows you that I am willing to do whatever it takes to get what I want. I have failed many times in my life, but I have also learnt from them. My time in Australia is limited; therefore, with the time I have, I will work hard to earn the trust of my potential employers and deliver positive results for them.
What steps has Sithypanhasak taken to break into the sport industry?
I have done a lot of networking, as well as attending conferences. I believe that will give me more of a chance to get a foot in the door than simply applying online.
Sithypanhasak’s interest in sport all started whilst growing up…
I'm from a Southeast Asian country. It is more common that people would want the big roles like Nurses, Lawyers, etc. In my experience, not a lot have said out loud that they want to work in sports.
I could've gone down the same route; however, I want to do what I am truly passionate about. I grew up loving sports; I have watched them, and I have played them. Therefore, I feel like I belong here. Australia is a great country for sports. If I get to stay and work here, that will be great. However, if my time here comes to an end, I will still go back to my home country and take what I've learnt and make a difference there.
Where does Sithypanhasak want to go?
Next six-12 months | Next 5-10 years |
|---|---|
My goal in the next 6–12 months is to secure a marketing or fan engagement role in sport and build hands-on experience delivering real campaigns and measurable results. I’m focused on developing practical skills, expanding my network, and contributing to projects that create real value for sports organisations. | In 5–10 years, I see myself established in sports marketing and fan engagement within a professional sporting organisation. I want to be leading campaigns and initiatives that drive real fan growth and measurable impact. Coming from a background where opportunities in sport were limited, my long-term goal is to build enough experience and credibility to lead meaningful projects and help grow the game and its communities. |

What kind of environment do you thrive in?
Where everyone is supportive of each other.
When have you had to show resilience in your life or career?
Working my way up from being a bench warmer to becoming the captain of my high school soccer team within a year.
Failing my year 12 national exam in my home country and then promising myself and my family that I wouldn't let them down from now on, and did just that by graduating from university without any troubles along the way.

If you had 30 minutes to pick the brain of anyone, who would it be and why?
John Cena. Other than being a wrestler/celebrity, he is a good human being. Watching his interviews, the way he speaks and carries himself, he chooses his words carefully and gives me a different perspective on life.
What’s book or podcast that’s helped your career you recommend?
Yet to find a book that speaks to me.
