Burnard

Nate “The Buffalo Soldier” Burnard is a rising Power Slap competitor driven by faith, discipline, and a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to competition.

Burnard was first introduced to Power Slap while watching with his family earlier this year, immediately drawn to the intensity and energy of the sport. Encouraged jokingly by his father to try it himself, he took the advice seriously and pursued the opportunity — ultimately earning his place in the league.

“My dad joked, ‘You should try to get in.’ So I took it and ran with it, signed up, and here I am now.”

For Burnard, Power Slap represents a life-changing opportunity and a chance to compete on a global stage against athletes from around the world, opening doors both inside and outside the sport.

“Power Slap can really be a life changing thing. Being able to compete with people from around the world could give me opportunity to doors being open.”

His ultimate goal is simple and direct — to stay focused, stay locked in, and rise to the top of the division.

“I got my eyes on the prize to be number one.”

Outside of competition, Burnard points to one of the most impactful experiences of his life as living in Africa for two years, where he spent time helping others and gaining perspective that continues to shape him today.

When asked about his upcoming opponent, Burnard offered a brief but pointed message of intent.

“I will pray for you.”

With a grounded mindset and an appreciation for opportunity, “The Buffalo Soldier” enters Power Slap focused on growth, competition, and climbing toward the top of the sport.
