Nana Amnukkittikul, SAIT Trojans, Badminton

In just her first year of competition, Nana made an immediate and lasting impact at the CCAA Nationals, playing a key role in her women’s doubles team capturing the gold medal with her partner Archelle. Competing against the best collegiate badminton athletes in the country, Nana demonstrated composure, skill, and confidence beyond her years, delivering strong performances when it mattered most and helping her team rise to the top of the national podium.

 

What truly set Nana apart, however, was her leadership throughout the championship. Despite being a first‑year athlete, she consistently led by example—bringing energy, focus, and positivity both on and off the court. Her ability to uplift her partner and teammates, reinforce team belief, and foster a strong sense of pride and unity was instrumental in the team’s success. Nana’s presence helped create an environment where everyone performed with confidence and purpose.

 

Nana’s combination of high‑level performance, maturity, and leadership at the national level is remarkable for a first‑year athlete. Her contributions to a CCAA gold‑medal performance exemplify the values of teamwork, resilience, and excellence. Nana is a first-year student athlete enrolled in the Bachelor of Business Administration.
