Datuk Nicol Ann David,DSPN

First of all, welcome back to view my blog! time passes by without realising that i am now sitting for my last subject of Communication skills 3 after i have gone throughout the communication skills of 1 and 2. Moreover, we, the student of Communication Skills have been given a task by completing as many as 15 posts which will contribute 20% in our final semester 3. Now, i will begin my 1st post by having Datuk Nicol Ann David as my choice or in the other word as my Idol.

Nicol Ann David, chinese + indian was born in the month of August 26, 1983. She was born in Penang, Malaysia. She is a daughter to Desmond David an engineer and Ann Marie David a teacher which happened to be the only child in the family. She began to involved herself in squash sports when she was in the age of 5 and started to take squash seriously in the age of 8 with a regular training and involved in competitive games. Besides, she received her primary education at SM. Convent, Penang.

It seems hard and challenging as a SPM candidates back in the year of 2000 and at the same time concentrating her well centralised training as squash athlete. Apparently, she has already making the world's top 10 list and her up as well. By then on. she began to brought the joyful bliss to Malaysia by winning the track record in Asia within 5 times in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2006.

In december 2005, Nicol became the youngest world champion after beating Rachel Binham in Hong Kong Open. By then, by the age of 23 years old, nicol reached a new height when she took over the helm as the world's number 1 women squash player. She was not the only the first malaysian take over the crown but it also the first Asian women to be rank as number 1.

However, her number 1 rank was short lived to only 3 months before she dropped to number 2 after failure at the commonwealth Games in Melborne. But then again, many malaysian presses predicted further down fall of her and the failure even evoked the wrath of the sport ministry. Unfortunately, nicol bouced back with a blast by winning with a record of 51 consecutive matches.
