Texas Assistant AD for Strength and Conditioning Jeff Madden has been selected as president of the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches association (CSCCa), the organization has announced.
"It is a tremendous honor to be selected as the president of the CSCCa," Madden said. "This is a great honor for The University of Texas. To be elected by Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaching Professionals to be their leader shows a great deal of respect not only for myself and my staff, but for The University of Texas."
Madden is an original board member of the organization, which was created in May 2000, to meet the specific and unique needs of collegiate strength and conditioning coaches around the country. The CSCCa held its ninth Annual National Conference May 6-8, in Nashville, Tenn., at the Nashville Convention Center.
"The Certified Strength Coaches of the CSCCa have been entrusted with the most valuable gifts in the athletics departments -- the physical, emotional and competitive development of the student-athletes," Madden said. "We take our jobs very seriously and strive for perfection of each individual athlete and team. I accepted this position in honor of the over 20,000 athletes I have had the pleasure to coach. Thanks to President Powers, DeLoss Dodds, Mack Brown, Texas football staff, players, strength staff, my family, the UT family and the coaches of the CSCCa."
Madden is a Master Strength and Conditioning Coach (MSCC) and was inducted into the USA Strength and Conditioning Coaches Hall of Fame in 2003. He is a 27-year veteran in the field who has had a tremendous impact on the profession, as well as on an innumerable number of student athletes who have had the privilege of training under his supervision.
"This is an incredible honor for Jeff," said CSCCa Executive Director, Dr. Chuck Stiggins. "Being named President of the CSCCa signifies Coach Madden's commitment to the student athlete, as well as to his peers in the strength and conditioning profession. We are honored to have Jeff as a member of our association and appreciate his willingness to serve in this capacity. He is truly a model of an outstanding strength and conditioning professional."
Madden was also named the 2004 National Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year by the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society and the 2005 College Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year by Samson Equipment.
He was one of just 10 coaches nationally to receive the title of Master Strength and Conditioning Coach at the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches association (CSCCa) convention in 2001. The honor represents what the association says "is the highest honor that can be achieved as a strength and conditioning coach and represents professionalism, knowledge, experience and expertise."
He also was honored with the Culligan Holiday Bowl's Admiral U.S. Grant Sharp Trophy in 2000, which was voted on by the Longhorns team and is bestowed upon an individual that is dedicated to team success.
