Ed Meacham - Founder
Former College football standout and NFL player Ed Meacham started Mr. Ed’s Strength and Conditioning Camp
in the summer of 1999. Ed started the camp for the purpose of helping area High School athletes maximize their potential
while having a great time! Each summer Ed brings together a select staff made up of area High School athletes. The program has
11 members on staff for each session. This approach has helped the younger kids on staff grow into tomorrow’s leaders.
Ed was a High School baseball, basketball, and football standout at Oneida High School in New York,
then was a College standout at Springfield College in Springfield, MA where he won many school, conference, regional and national awards. After College,
