is this correct?

[Allthewayanime]

I would like to know if the following sentence is correct:

' Nothing stayed in the way of my passion of this sport, neither the hard falls nor the lack of performant equipment. '

[Beeesneees]

I would say:

Nothing got in the way of my passion for this sport, neither the hard falls nor the lack of performance equipment.
