The Be Like Water Promise
Strong Standards. Flexible Delivery. Meet the Athlete Where They Are.
“Be Like Water” is not just a name. BLWE is built to adapt the delivery of coaching, support, access, and payment structure around real families while keeping expectations, safety, professionalism, and written agreements clear.
Professional + Volunteer Support
BLWE is supported by paid professionals and a dedicated volunteer base so athletes and families can receive more personal, hands-on guidance instead of being treated like a number.
Individual Accessibility Support
Athletes with disabilities and families with accessibility or special-support needs can request individualized help. BLWE reviews each request and works to coordinate reasonable one-on-one support and accommodations when available.
Flexible Family Arrangements
When appropriate, families can ask about deposits, split payments, pay-as-you-go structures, checks by arrangement, sponsor-supported access, scholarships/comps, or a written payment schedule instead of assuming one checkout method is the only option.
School + Team Flexibility
Schools and teams can discuss custom payment timing tied to budgets or season milestones, including approved split-payment structures such as part upfront and the remaining balance later. Terms are confirmed in writing before services begin.
Written Arrangements Protect Both Sides
Custom BLWE payment arrangements are reviewed individually and documented in writing. Where appropriate, agreements may be prepared or reviewed with BLWE legal support. PayPal Pay Later and other PayPal credit products are separate third-party products subject to PayPal eligibility, approval, and terms.

Meet the Working Coach
Experience Without Ego
Coach Ali Alaboody is a hands-on, down-to-earth coach who uses his Division I experience to teach clearly, answer families honestly, and keep the focus on each athlete's work—not on himself.
About Coach Ali
Meet Coach Ali Saber Alaboody
Hands-On Working CoachBowling Green State · Former D1 AthleteDearborn, Michigan
Ali Saber Alaboody is a hands-on working coach, former Division I football athlete, and founder of BE LIKE WAT3R EXPOSURE LLC. He is down to earth, thoughtful, and direct—someone who listens before he teaches and explains football development and recruiting in language families can understand.
His playing history gives him firsthand experience, but it is not the center of how he treats people. Ali does not coach from a pedestal. He meets athletes at their current level, tells them the truth with respect, and works beside them as they build the next step.
His coaching is built on humility, discipline, clear communication, honest feedback, and consistent work. The goal is simple: help the athlete improve and help the family understand the process.

Scout.com / 247Sports — Live Combine Report
Cincinnati Combine · Spartan Prospects · May 19, 2008
📰 Published Press CoverageScout.com · Covered by 247SportsMichigan State Recruiting Report
Scout.com Reporter — Verbatim Quote
"Speaking of athletes, how about Dearborn Fordson's Ali Alaboody. He tested through the roof running a 4.4 forty, a 4.1 shuttle and notching a vertical jump of 38.5 inches and a 10-4 broad jump. Then he torched the competition in 1-1s. Already planning to camp at Michigan State, Alaboody can play cornerback or running back. A similar performance in East Lansing could earn him a green and white offer."
— Scout.com Staff Writer · Cincinnati Combine Report · May 2008
This is documented third-party press coverage. A Scout.com reporter — whose work was syndicated on 247Sports — singled out Ali Alaboody by name after watching him dominate the Cincinnati combine among the Midwest's top prospects being evaluated for Michigan State offers. He tested through the roof and then torched the competition in 1-on-1s. This is not self-reported — this is what the scouts wrote.

📰 Published Press CoverageRunner-Up MVP · UnderArmour/Scout.com Cincinnati Combine
Nick Meyer — The Arab American News
"After an impressive performance at the UnderArmour/scout.com Combine in Cincinnati, Ohio, Ali Alaboody of Dearborn Fordson could be on his way to earning a college scholarship... He was named runner-up for MVP honors at the Cincinnati combine that features top high school football players in the Midwest, as he finished in the top five in four events."
— Nick Meyer, The Arab American News · May 30, 2008
A full feature profile published in The Arab American News documented Ali's combine breakout in detail — independently confirming the same elite testing numbers reported by Scout.com: a 4.41 forty, 4.10 shuttle, and first-place finishes in both the broad jump (10'4") and vertical leap (38.5") among the Midwest's top prospects.
In Ali's Own Words
"Part of it is genetics but we have a really good strength and conditioning program here. Tuesdays and Thursdays we do a lot of explosive movements and we also run a lot so I think that's where most of my explosive ability comes from."

Ali's Advice to Young Athletes
"Of course, it all starts with academics; you can't go anywhere without those. But other than that, you should focus on your speed and do a lot of running. Speed is one of the most important things college coaches look for."
