The sports personality that I like

Movie stars and singers, these are teenagers’ obsession nowadays. They

worship movie stars like god without knowing that those movie stars did not give any

motivational encouragement to the teenager themselves. As for me, I choose our

country pride – Datuk Nicol Ann David as my idol. She definitely is a role model for

youngsters nowadays as for her determination to bring glory for our country by

achieving number 1 rank in squash and her great personality as a renowned

sportswoman.

Datuk Nicol Ann David is a Malaysian professional female squash player. She is

ranked as world number 1 is women’s squash and she is the first Asian to be able

achieve such title. She was born on 26 August 1983 in Penang. Her father is Desmond

David who is an engineer while her mother is a retired school teacher. She also is the

first squash player to have won the World Junior twice. Moreover, she also was the first

recipient for the Order of Merit ( Darjah Bakti ) title.

I admire Datuk Nicol Ann David because she is a living proof that we can excel

in both aspects, in sport and academic. Datuk Nicol Ann David defies the theory of we

need to abandon our sport to concentrate in academic area and successfully score in

both the government examination although she was busy with the squash tournament

during that time. This kind of attitude from her had taught me that we can succeed no

matter in sport and academic as long we know how to divide our time wisely and juggle

between those two aspects.

In a nutshell, Datuk Nicol Ann David is the most suitable person to be a role

model for us. I admire her because her ability to achieve such achievement in young

age and score well in her examination although she was busy with her tournament that

moment. Her determination had taught me to always be determined in our daily and her

successful story in juggling between sport and academic shows us that we need to

have a proper and wise time management in order to excel no matter in sport or

academic aspect. As a conclusion, Datuk Nicol Ann David is the sportswoman I like the

most and we should make her as our role model in our daily life. ( 396 words )
