He speaks to agencies, civic organizations, and has a special focus with schools.

Cam Awesome's Bio:

Growing up, Cam dealt with academic and social challenges. Bullying and anxiety led him to join a boxing gym to protect himself. Cam 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.

Cam 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. Cam's mental toughness served as his superpower in the ring. Within 2 years in the sport in 2008, Cam won the National Championship claiming the title as the #1 Super Heavyweight boxer in the country.

Cam holds 4 Golden Gloves Championships, 6 US Championships, 3 PAL National Championships, 6 Ringside Championships, and 3 Olympic Trials. Cam holds the title as the Winningest Boxer in USA Boxing history. Cam's 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 Cam's message so relatable.

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

"You may miss 100% of the shots you don't take, but no one asks for your field goal percentage when you become successful. Jordan had his ‘Game 6 moment’ only because he lost 2 games previously in that series." - Cam F Awesome
