Pioneer in application of sports science to SSAT :
Currently, K. Tarathip serves as the Deputy Secretary-General of the Ski and Snowboard Association of Thailand. He started his role with the association in 2018 as a referee for Roller Ski and Cross-Country Ski, after attending training in 2018. He was the pioneer in applying sports science and technology to the sports under the association's care. Initially, there were only three sports: Alpine Ski, Cross Country Ski, and Roller Ski, but now there are eight winter sports under the association's supervision from five federations. His responsibilities include managing national (National Games, National Youth Games, Thailand Roller Ski Championship) and international competitions, selecting athletes for competitions, traveling with athletes to international competitions, attending international referee and coach training, and promoting knowledge in each sport of the association using sports science as a key principle. This includes promoting winter sports to the general public, selecting national team athletes, and being a training instructor for Roller Ski athletes nationwide from 2018 to the present.
“The College of Sports Science and Technology, Mahidol University, is an institution that has given me a new life in the sports world of Alpine Ski, Cross Country Ski, and Roller Ski. It is the first institution to offer sports science education, enabling me to apply my knowledge to athletes and achieve success today. I have a strong bond with the institution and can exchange new knowledge with the university's faculty and send trained athletes from the association to study at the college.” Proud to be Mahidol Alumni by K. Taratip Chantawat
