Dwanye 'Dipper' Aherne, is a North West Tassie Footy icon, and it only took 5 mins to realise what a great and genuine bloke he is behind the veil of a senior Football coach. Dipper starts the episode by reflecting on a moment in his life when he noticed a poster on a footy club wall - "The Harder YOU work, The LUCKIER you get!" and for him, this has been a metaphor to live by, and something that he brings across his life in football, but also in work and the rest of his life. He touches on a moment in his life where through no fault of his own, one of his passions was taken away from him, and how he worked through adversity to continue down a different path, but one that didn't stray to far from the one he left behind. Theres so much in this episode, we know everyone, will take something away from it!
