Tanatcha Sooksod (26), a former Thai national team outside hitter, has donned the GS Caltex uniform and reaffirmed her resolve to chase the championship.

According to a press release from GS Caltex on the 12th, Tanatcha emphasized the essence of team sports during an interview conducted at the team's training camp in Japan and stated she would take on a leading role.

Regarding her move from Korea Expressway Corporation, where she had spent time, to GS Caltex, Tanatcha explained, "I wanted to challenge myself in a new environment to advance as a player to the next level," adding, "When I was considering a transfer, they were the first team to contact me and recognize my value."

On the view that she should alleviate the offensive burden on star hitter Gisela Silva, Tanatcha drew a clear line. She emphasized, "Volleyball is a team sport; rather than helping a specific player, all players must fulfill their respective roles and join the attack together." Silva has also expressed her expectations for Tanatcha's arrival, saying, "We will be able to have fun volleyball together."

She also revealed her intention to implant Thailand's uniquely positive culture and diverse tactics into the team. Tanatcha stated she would actively showcase inside-outside combination attacks designed to overcome physical disadvantages, along with an attitude that does not dwell on mistakes but quickly focuses on the next play.

Born in 2000, Tanatcha finds herself among the veterans at GS Caltex, unlike her previous team which was full of experienced players. Consequently, she is focusing on building teamwork both on and off the court. While communicating with teammates by playing board games during breaks, she added, "Our goal is to win by doing our best," and "I will always be a teammate who brings good energy."
