I escaped bullying and became America’s #1 heavyweight boxer.
How I became awesome…
My name wasn’t always Cam Awesome.
Growing up, I struggled a lot. Both academically and socially. After years of anxiety and bullying, I eventually joined a boxing gym in order to learn to protect myself.
I immediately fell in love.
Finally, here was something I could be great at. I threw my whole life into the ring, and dedicated myself to becoming the greatest boxer I possibly could.
Two years later, in 2008, I won the National Championship and became the #1 Super Heavyweight boxer in the nation.
Today, I am the Winningest Boxer in USA Boxing history, and I hold four Golden Glove Championships, six U.S. Championships, three PAL National Championships, six Ringside Championships, and three Olympic trials. My story was featured in the Netflix Original documentary Counterpunch.
No longer active in the sport, I now travel the country to share what boxing taught me: mental toughness, gratitude, cultural awareness, and how to develop a championship mindset.
“Funny, engaging, and inspiring. Cam blew us away.”
Watch me speak below.
I recently had the privilege of introducing Cam F. Awesome at the @New England Association of Town Clerks Conference. His presentation on “Building a Champion Mindset” is awe-inspiring. From the moment Cam began sharing his life story, I found myself thoroughly enthralled, hanging onto every word as he unfolded a narrative of resilience, determination, and unwavering motivation.Cam’s ability to navigate through adversity with such grace and strength is so inspiring. His life journey serves as a testament to the power of the human spirit and the capacity we all possess to overcome challenges. I was particularly moved by the way he shared his experiences, offering not only a glimpse into his personal struggles but also imparting valuable lessons that resonated deeply with the audience while sprinkling lots of humor. The audience was roaring and I’m still receiving positive compliments on his presentation. He truly has left his mark on many hearts. Thank you Cam F Awesome and Awesometalk for coming to CT.
Cam’s message of Building a Championship Mindset really resonated with our convention attendees. Cam has amazing stories that will engage and motivate any audience. As a planner, when you receive messages such as “kept me engaged the whole time”, “dynamic and awesome”, “best speaker of the conference”, and “absolutely fantastic - great way to start the day” - you know you have found a great keynote speaker! Keep sharing your engaging, relevant and genuine content, Cam - we look foward to having you on stage again soon!
His presence was felt from the moment he stepped into the room. Thank you, Cam, for the motivation! I’ll make sure the next time I’m feeling defeated, I remember you told me to “get off my butt” and try again!
Cam Awesome really connected with our students on a level that they have never had before. We received much positive feedback from our students and staff from his interactive and very powerful message.
Cam was engaging, interesting, funny and relevant, while providing very useful info. His experiences are things that everyone in the room could and should draw from.
Cam’s presentation was great! Our high school students were engaged and so responsive to his questioning strategies. He clearly connected with our students, even through the virtual setting of Zoom. We will definitely have Cam back in the future!
