Cam Awesome

Growing up, Cam Awesome dealt with academic and social challenges. Bullying and anxiety led him to join a boxing gym to protect himself. He had tried out but was unable to make any teams he tried out for. Boxing was the only available choice since no team had to be made.

Awesome quickly fell in love with the sport. He realized his potential to be great and dedicated every waking moment to be the best boxer possible. Awesome's mental toughness served as his superpower in the ring. Within two years in the sport in 2008, Cam won the National Championship claiming the title as the #1 Super Heavyweight boxer in the country.

Awesome holds four Golden Gloves Championships, six U.Ss Championships, three PAL National Championships, six Ringside Championships, and three Olympic Trials. He holds the title as the Winningest Boxer in USA Boxing history. His accomplishments are impressive but pale in comparison to the losses he has accumulated to reach this point. His story of resilience is so inspiring it's featured in the NETFLIX Original documentary "Counterpunch."

During his motivational speeches he shares how he faced adversities in and outside of the ring with a Championship Mindset. Boxing is the greatest metaphor because everyone is fighting their own battles. This is what makes his message so relatable.

"If you can fail without being discouraged, success becomes inevitable," is a quote Awesome lives by. His secret to remaining resilient through ups and downs is keeping a positive mindset through practicing gratitude.
