TESTIMONIALS
Students love being able to learn at their own pace and can go back to the video content NEXA have created.
Leigh Charlsworth is the SIS coordinator at Seaview high school who have been working together with NEXA Sports Performance to assist in delivering curriculum development.
Teachers can say one thing but when a professional in the industry says the same thing, it resonates more.
Sa Danh, Specialist Programs Co-ordinator from Seaton high school explains the benefit of having NEXA come and compliment the work they already do with their students.

Athlete & careers pathway program
Many high-school-aged students either want to become a professional athlete, or have a career in sport working alongside elite athletes.
But the majority of young athletes don’t know the steps that need to be taken in order to get to the elite level as an athlete. Others, who want to work in sport, often have a limited understanding of the sports industry and the pathways that need to be taken in order to work in different professions, with athletes. That’s where NEXA comes in.
A greater understanding of requirements and options
At NEXA, we’ve developed our Athlete & Careers Pathway Program to help students get a greater understanding of what’s needed to become an elite athlete. Students will also learn more about the different career opportunities available in sport, such as becoming a strength and conditioning coach or a sports scientist.
