Nathan is one of the most successful badminton players of all time within the UK and officially endorses Strength Pro badminton rackets which he trains with.

Nathan began playing badminton at the age of 6 encouraged by his parents and inspired by his older brother who was a junior international himself. He gained his full senior cap for England at the age of 18 against China. Since gaining his 1st cap in 1995, Nathan has not looked back gaining his first major medal at the 1999 World Championships partnering Simon Archer in the men's doubles where they reached the semi-finals securing a bronze medal.

The bronze medal success proved to be the beginning of Nathans successes paving the way to greater achievements in the years to follow. Nathan established himself as European's finest in 2004 by winning European Gold with his mixed doubles partner Gail Emms and gaining a silver medal in the men's doubles event with partner Anthony Clarke. Later that year Robertson and Emms went on to make history as the first ever British badminton players to reach an Olympic final, narrowly losing out and coming away with silver.

After the highs of the silver medal in Athens it was difficult to see how Robertson and Emms could top this amazing achievement. In 2006 at the World Championships in Madrid, Nathan and Gail did exactly that by going one step further, winning the gold medal and becoming World Champions, beating English team mates Anthony Clarke and Donna Kellogg in the final.

Among Nathans Olympic, World and European medals he has also won 7 Commonwealth games medals, truly establishing himself as one Britain's leading sporting heroes.
