Welcome to the Movement

The PFM is a non-profit program. Our blog is a platform that I will use for giving exposure to student-athletes in the Philly area who do not get attention they deserve for their abilities, achievements, and their involvement in their communities . I also give advice to help guide student-athletes through the college/recruiting process. Camps and Clinics will be run throughout the year to help improve athletes and coaches of the area. Our slogan is "Creating Opportunities for Success." With that being said, I will concentrate more on the youth and high school level, but will not leave out college and the NFL . Welcome to the Movement. (Take your game to the next level and receive individual or small group instruction from Coach Abe himself. Click the "Training Info" tab at the top of the page for info)

Dear Signees-Your Gift on National Signing Day

Dear Signees,
You have been given an opportunity that the masses could only wish for. The level of football is not what is important here. Now, I am not asking that  mark your success on whether or not you become a NFL star. What I am asking is that you take this opportunity and run with it. It's easy to do what the majority is doing because the majority of people don't have to be conscious of the same things that you do. They don't have to worry about what they're posting on social media in fear of consequence. So don't follow their lead.

D1 Prospect Loses Opportunity

It's easy for the "regulars" to choose to go party instead of staying home when you have an assignment do in the morning. It's easy to say "yes" to the crowd doing things that will have negative consequences. It is up to you to know that the easy route is not the best route, but to take whatever route you have to, to become the best that you can possibly become. If it was easy waking up at 5am, go to workouts, go to film study, make it to every class, and evening study hall, all on time, then everyone would do it. (and I'm just talking about the off-season)

Fall from grace. From the top to bottom

Use what you are given and maximize/multiply this blessing for the betterment of self and family. Use this as a catipult to live out every thing that you've ever dreamed to achieve on and off the field. Realize that at any second the game that we all love can be taken away without you having a say. Be grateful everyday.

All I ask is that you stay true to self and reach for the stars. Be mindful that there will be more negative influences and more tough times than good. If you keep faith and family first, follow your heart in making good choices, surround yourself with like-minded people, take negative and positive experiences and learn from them, and appreciate the good people around, you will have nothing less than great fortune. You have a chance to be GREAT!

Issue In Philly Beyond Football

I JUST READ A LIST OF SCHOOL SAID TO BE CLOSING ALL IN THE CITY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! PHILADELPHIA HAS SO MANY YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE BETTER PEOPLE AND CITIZENS BUT THEY ARE NOT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITIES OR RESOURCES TO FIND OUT WHAT OTHER OPTIONS THERE ARE FOR THEMSELVES THAT IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE VIOLENCE AND DRUGS THAT THEY FACE IN THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA IN PARTICULAR. IT IS RIDICULOUS! PEOPLE SAY STOP THE VIOLENCE YET THE GOVERNMENT CLOSES NUMEROUS RECREATION CENTERS IN OUR AREA. "DON'T DO DRUGS" YET THERE ARE NO AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS TO KEEP THE IDLE MINDS OUT OF TROUBLE. GIVE OUR CHILDREN A CHANCE TO SUCCEED! YOU WANT TO HELP THE COMMUNITIES BUILD COMPUTER RESOURCE CENTERS, BUILD INDOOR FIELDS and NOT JUST FOR BASKETBALL(ONLY 10CHILDREN ON THE COURT AT THE SAME TIME), BUILD SMALLER SCHOOLS THAT FOCUS ON OCCUPATIONS AND STOP BEING STAGNANT WHEN IT COMES TO ADVANCING THE TYPE OF EDUCATION AND OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO INNER-CITY YOUTH! THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND OUR CITY OFFICIALS NEED TO STOP TAKING AWAY OPPORTUNITIES AND START BUILDING AND "CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS"--Coach Abe and The Philly Football Movement & Impact Players Academy
