Before long, Abraham was hooked. He became the head coach at Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg and led the team to its first-ever district title in 2009. Abraham left high school coaching for a job in Arena Football with the Tampa Bay Storm, but returned to high school after two seasons.

"Going into the Arena League was a way for me to gain more experience coaching," Abraham said. "At that time, I had already been a high school coach for two years so I wanted to gain some more experience working with some older guys and get the professional sense of it."

"My second year with the Storm, I was looking at where I was going and I was looking at my family as well. I had a young family. All three of my kids were in sports. I knew that if I moved on from there to college or the NFL that I would miss a lot of my kids' activities; I wouldn't be able to be around to see them or pick them up from school, things like that. I decided that I had two years in the Arena League and, when I reassessed the situation, that it was probably best to go back to high school."

Abraham's youngest son is in eighth grade. In five years, he will head off to college. When that time comes, Abraham believes be would like to move on to coaching in college or the NFL.
