The Iron Bulldog Club is an elite group of student-athletes, who in the opinion of the Strength and Conditioning staff exhibit the characteristics of the “champion student-athlete” in addition to unrivaled dedication to strength training and conditioning.

The champion student-athlete, through his or her own internal motivation, finds a way to balance strength training and conditioning with external influences such as academics, athletics, sleep, and social life. They also look within themselves for weakness, seek advice from coaches and professors, and are relentless in their pursuit of academic/athletic achievement. At Redlands, it is vital for athletic growth that the student-athlete displays the characteristics of the “Champion student-athlete”.  

At the end of each academic year, the strength and conditioning staff will select this elite group of student-athletes. Each student-athlete will receive a dog tag with “Iron Bulldog” engraved on it. This is the most coveted award for the Bulldog Strength and Conditioning Program.

Finally, a maximum of two student-athletes from this elite group will be nominated for the honor of Strength and Conditioning All-American through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
