“Nootsara, better known as Sarah or Noot, is no stranger to the world of volleyball. However, there are some things you might not know about her. Last year, I had a chance to interview the 28-year-old from Ratchaburi. Hopefully, by going through the information below, you may get an idea of what a resolute character she is.”
How did she become a spiker?
When she was a child, she dreamt of graduating from a Bangkok university but realised that the family’s modest income, with father working at a sugar factory in Ratchaburi, wasn’t going to fully cover her study costs. To accomplish her goal, she needed to get a scholarship. With her brother emerging as a keen footballer and her elder sister in the school volleyball team, she decided to focus on sports.
Education?
She got a Bachelor’s degree from the Faculty of Science and Technology, Rattana Bundit University.
Career?
She started playing volleyball at 10 and got selected to the national team for the first time when she was 17. At first, she played in all positions but her coach soon recognised her skills and put her in the setter position.
Six years ago, Nootsara made her international debut with a team in the Spanish professional league before moving on to play in Switzerland and Azerbaijan. She now plays for Azerbaijan’s Igtisadchi Baku on a six-month contract.
