The CSCCa recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of strength and conditioning coaching and who have had a tremendous impact in athletics. These individuals have devoted their careers not only to helping young athletes maximize their athletic performance on the field or court, but most importantly, to helping them develop strong work ethic, discipline, teamwork, and all the other qualities that are so critical to building moral character and integrity. The pioneering and mentoring efforts of these individuals make them true "Legends in the Field." These individuals are recognized at the organization's national conference each year.
