Everyone has a idol.MY IDol since i was 6 years old ,is the one and only NICOL ANN DAvID =)Somehow rather, i feel very motivated whenever i read about her or see her. It is so unexplainable.. HOPE SHE REadS MY BLOG =)
Nicol was born on 26 August 1983 in the Pearl of the Orient- Penang, Malaysia. She is a daughter to Desmond David, an engineer and Ann Marie David, a now retired school teacher. She has two sisters named Lianne Marie and Cheryl Therese, both of whom are also accomplished squash players at the national level.
Nicol scored a striking 7As in her Penilaian Menengah Rendah(PMR) and 9As in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia(SPM)- a living testament to the fact that one can not only excel at both academic and sports, but also have a balance family life. This really make me very motivated! Respect her!! Nicol David is well known for her modest ways and strong family values. The triple world champion is currently based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
She is coached by Liz Irving- a former world number 2 and 1997 World Doubles Squash Champion. Describing herself as a carefree, outgoing and adventurous person, Nicol feels that a player has to be completely passionate about the game, and be willing to make sacrifices for the game if they want to excel in it. When asked what plans she had in mind for after her playing career, the 5-times Malaysian Sportswoman of the Year Award recipient said that she hoped to be part of getting squash into the Olympics and making squash known throughout the world; not forgetting setting up a squash academy for kids in Malaysia.
