George Abele
Linebacker
 

To Whom It May Concern:

It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for George Abele. I have known George for the past two
years. I first met George when I was an assistant football coach at Mount Ida College. George is very dedicated
person when it comes to football or anything else in life.

On the field George is a very smart Linebacker and a great long snapper. He knows where he is supposed to fit on
run plays and where he should drop on pass plays. With George long snapping it gave us a great advantage,
because he flew down there and could tackle in the open field. He never missed a practice, film session, or a lift.

George just loves the game of football and wants to continue playing at any level he can play at. George has been
working with well know strength and conditioning coaches for the last 10 months. As you can see he is still
dedicated to the sport.

I would recommend George as a football player to any organization. That organization is going to get not just a
football player, but an excellent young man. He has the will and desire to make things happen. George is a
competitor!

Please feel free to contact me for further information that you deem necessary.

With Best Regards,

It is an honor and a privilege for me to extend this letter of recommendation for George Abele. I have been
extremely fortunate to train George since the conclusion of his collegiate football career in preparation for his
professional football career.

In the eleven months that I been working with George, he has progressed by leaps and bounds – largely due to
his excellent work ethic and insatiable desire to get better. George was quick to recognize his shortcomings when
we first assessed him, but relentless in his efforts to address them and become the athlete that he is today. As
importantly, his passion endures, as he realizes that he still has a tremendous window of adaptation ahead.

To that end, George has been a positive influence on the other athletes at our facility. He’s pushed his own training
partners to whole new levels of athleticism and dedication to improvement outside the gym with proper nutrition
and lifestyle habits. Additionally, George has been a great influence on many of the high school athletes in our
facility, motivating them to get better with training session.

Perhaps the greatest compliment of all that I can pay to George is that he is a close friend to me – and an
unconditional one at that. His teammates, coaches, and friends can all testify for his loyalty; he really would give
any of us the shirt off his back. Combine this loyalty with George’s dedication, passion, and unconditionally positive
energy, and there is no doubt in my mind that he has a bright future ahead of him in professional football.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Respectfully Submitted,

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing you on behalf of George Abele.  I have had the pleasure of being associated with this young man for
the past 5 years. My relationship with George has been forged on many levels. When I was a student-athlete at
Mount Ida College,  George was my guest on his visit to the school. The following season I was a teammate of Mr.
Abele. Once I had exhausted my eligibility, I was invited to join the coaching staff at Mount Ida College, and served
two seasons as George's position coach.

I have had the opportunity to watch George grow and mature as a man, and as an athlete. Without reservation, I
can speak for his desire, intensity, and leadership ability. He was always the player others would look to in a tight
spot. He always leads by example, whether making the big play in a crucial situation, or simply giving maximum
effort on the practice field. George has a great passion for learning the nuances of the game, and is always seeking
ways to improve himself. From the day his senior year ended, he has been training for the next opportunity, and is
in better shape now than he ever was during his collegiate career. Intensity, dedication, and focus enabled him to
push himself , without knowing if another opportunity would come.

I wholeheartedly feel that George Abele would be a great addition to any team or organization. It is absolutely
without any reservation that I give him my full recommendation. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not
hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Bill Russell
