Since 2006, Nathan Hemphill journey in strength and conditioning began during his undergraduate studies at Missouri State University. There, he actively contributed to the strength and conditioning department, assisting in program implementation across all sports teams. Summers were spent overseeing the strength and conditioning program for the St. Louis Cardinals, working with their AA Springfield team in 2008 and Rookie Johnson City team in 2009.

Upon completing his undergraduate degree, he pursued a Master's degree at Seattle University. During his time there, he spearheaded the design and execution of strength and conditioning programs for baseball, softball, swimming, men's soccer, and volleyball. In the absence of a football program, he seized the opportunity to work with the University of Washington Huskies football team during the summer, collaborating with notable athletes such as Jake Locker, Mason Foster, and Nick Folk.

Transitioning to the University of California-Davis in 2010, he assumed a role overseeing seven of the Aggie sports programs while also contributing to the football program. His tenure at UC Davis included notable achievements, such as working with two conference champion golf teams and a women's golf program that qualified for the NCAA Championship.

Driven by a passion to impart high-level athletic knowledge to younger athletes, he founded PSP3 in March 2014. At PSP3, he emphasizes a holistic approach to athlete development, encapsulated in our "Athlete Pledge," which underscores the importance of respecting oneself and others, fostering growth, embracing responsibility, and serving the community.
