Today you’ll learn more about our Board Member Ido Brosh!
Hi Ido! In order for our audience to get to know you better, tell us a few words about yourself.
My name is Ido Brosh, 26, and I’m from Israel. I have been in Esports for most of my life and have played a big part in building the Esports communities in my country. I love the Esports community and I love promoting it.
Why did you join IESF?
IESF always represented opportunities for local communities in my eyes. While big countries enjoy much of the investment in Esports, smaller countries like Israel do not receive the same attention and benefits as the larger markets. IESF always placed emphasis on supporting and promoting Esports in all countries, big and small, and getting local governments to be involved in funding and supporting local communities.
How do you achieve success in your role?
I strive for excellence in everything I do. The cost of doing something well, is usually to dedicate much time and energy. I believe that the balance between being fast to react and innovate, and taking time and energy to develop something that excels, is the key to success.
What energizes you at work?
When I do something, I always envision the end result. How will it work? Who’s going to benefit from it? Which lives (and how many) will be positively impacted and how? This vision gives me energy to do the work – even the boring “paperwork” parts.
What was your first job?
I was a tech-support and sales agent for an Israeli-American technology company that created a product to support writers.
What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
Don’t try to be someone else. It’s OK to take inspiration from others, but the best version of you will come out when you are yourself, not an imitation of someone else.
What’s your go-to productivity trick?
When I feel unmotivated to do something, I like to listen to cinematic rock or electro music from video games and movies. This really gets me going.
Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
I would definitely say that I am an introvert, although it’s probably the lightest form of introvert.
How would your friends describe you?
I would hope to be a motivated go-getter and a professional.
Are you a sports fan? Who are your favorite teams?
Actually, I was never much into sports. When I got into Esports, I also slowly began to take mild interest in traditional sports such as Tennis and chess. I don’t have favorite teams though, I just enjoy watching the games.
Do you have any hidden talents or hobbies?
Most people don’t know that I also play tennis, and I enjoy writing fictional narratives.
Who inspires you?
People who are willing, and capable, to lead positive change, even at their own personal cost.
