Ramdhani wins Canada MVP badminton award

Guyana’s male badminton champion Narayan Ramdhani, for the second year running, has won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award at King’s University in Edmonton, Canada.

He won the accolade for his stellar performance for the period September 2019 to April 2020.

“In the sport of bdminton, the singles discipline is the most coveted, but also the most difficult. Simply put, a great singles player must be physically fit, mentally strong and have a mastery of the racquet and shuttlecock. Our award recipient once again has gone above and beyond to make his teammates, coaches and the King’s University very proud,” King’s University, in announcing the award, declared.

The Institution went on to note: “Whether it was late night fitness sessions or extra off-campus training, he took no shortcuts. He also places a great deal of pressure on himself to be the very best. His back-to-back nationals appearance is a first for King’s Badminton and we know he strides to extend that streak. His hunger to succeed on and off court is evident during practices as he is always asking for more drills. His teammates and coaches know what he is capable of and we are excited to watch his continual growth.”
