His sport demands resilience, composure under pressure, and elite physical preparation, and Callum continues to lean into those standards every day.

The Elite 10 Athlete Project is a high-touch performance program supporting a small group of athletes with the mindset, habits, and physical preparation required to pursue excellence in their sport — on and off the field.

Welcome to the journey, Callum.
We’re excited to be part of what’s next. 💪

We’re thrilled to welcome Nathan Soong to the team at North Queensland Sports Academy (NQSA)! Nathan brings a dedicated approach to athletic training that aligns perfectly with our mission to help youth and adult athletes thrive.

Nathan specialises in coaching youth and adult athletes, combining sports science, individual testing and attentive coaching that listens to the athlete’s needs.

His style emphasises a foundation of movement quality and strength before adding load and is aligned with our core approach: safe progression, continual improvement and creating an environment where athletes can feel supported AND challenged.

🏋️ What he brings to you
For youth athletes: Nathan’s experience in youth strength and conditioning means he’ll help build speed, power, agility, coordination—and do so in a way that’s developmentally appropriate.

For adult athletes: Whether you’re looking to boost performance, prevent injury, or simply train smarter, Nathan’s approach will help you align movement, strength and sport-specific goals.

Testing & tracking: With Nathan’s sports science background, you’ll get more than just a workout—you’ll get measurable improvements and a clearer roadmap for where you’re going.

Individualised programming: Nathan listens first. He builds training plans based on you, your sport, your schedule and your goals.

✅ How to get started with Nathan (or any NQSA coach)

Message us to schedule your initial assessment with Nathan — this will include testing of strength, movement, mobility and athletic profile.

Based on your assessment, Nathan will build your personalised training plan and we’ll place you in the right program or personal training schedule.

We’re genuinely excited for the value Nathan adds — if you’ve been looking for performance-style training that’s smart, measured and athlete-focused, you’re in the right place.

Drop us a message to arrange your first chat with Nathan (or one of our NQSA coaches) and we’ll get you moving toward your best self.
