The journey

From a farm shed in Taranaki to world champion

A gym in a farm shed

Growing up in rural Taranaki, New Zealand, Callum built his own gym in a farm shed at just 13, chasing a dream of becoming one of the world’s fastest athletes, inspired by sprint legends like Carl Lewis and Allan Wells. With his father as his first coach, he became a provincial sprint champion and won New Zealand Under-18 national titles in the 100m and 200m.

A setback, then a smarter comeback

At 19, a fractured vertebra threatened to end his career. Instead of walking away, Callum immersed himself in the study of training, rehabilitation and performance, learning not just how to train harder but how to train smarter.
