Everyone mentions passion, but how do you show passion on one page

People have been telling me that passion for the field is important, at least everyone i've spoken to, but how do you exhibit passion when all you have is the resume and the cover letter is basically ignored?

 

Show that you've pursued and have succeeded in things outside of just coursework and finance internships. E.g. play more than one varsity sport or be a nationally ranked chess player. Of course, most candidates "show passion" by having a hobby they really like and can talk about fluently. In an interview setting, they like to see that there's a topic where the candidate's "eyes light up".
