Hammer Strength All American Athlete Award

About the Award

Hammer Strength, in partnership with the CSCCa, has developed the Hammer Strength All American Athlete Award to recognize the most outstanding college athletes who exemplify the best of what it takes, on and off the field, to become an elite athlete. The strength and conditioning coaching staff at each institution is encouraged to collaborate in selecting one male and one female athlete to receive this award and to be considered for the Hammer Strength All American Athlete of the Year Award.

What the Winner Looks Like

Athletes to be considered for this award are characterized by intensity, consistency of purpose, achievement, and teamwork. These athletes are superior performers on the field/court who exemplify the best of what it takes to become fierce competitors. They exhibit tremendous work ethic and leadership skills. They motivate their teammates to excel and perform at their best. Leaders by example, these student athletes have strong academic standing and exhibit good sportsmanship. They are dedicated to their sport—tireless workers in pursuit of excellence—translating everything they accomplish, be it in the strength and conditioning arena or the classroom, to performance on the field/court.
