Why train with NQAD

Proven Speed, strength, explosivness & performance training from Youth to elite athletes

Design with numbers and text: 2, 4, 6, 1, 30, with words 'NATIONAL,' 'QLD,' 'NQ,' 'ACADEMY,' and 'Athletes' in a dark background with red and white text.

Behind every number is an athlete, a goal, and a process. From Northern and academy pathways to Queensland and national level, these are some of the athletes I’ve been trusted to support, develop, and prepare.

Turn Training into on-field performance

Each step of the One5Fitness Athletic Development System is adapted and progressed based on the athlete’s age, stage of development, training experience, sport-specific demands, season timing, and individual needs.

While the five-step framework remains consistent, the methods, intensity, volume, and progressions are continually adjusted to suit the athlete and their sport, ensuring training is safe, effective, and directly transferable to performance.
