Now you can. Philadelphia Sports Training Center wants to hear from
student-athletes, professional athletes, occupational athletes, and
recreational athletes about how sports has impacted your life. Has
it helped get you the job you're in? Have you survived the crimes of
the streets? Did you re-connect with you parents through sports?
Has your coach inspired you to do better things than you used to?
While PSTC cannot publish every submitted story, it inspires us to know
that as we strive to emphasize the importance of academics & athletics, we
do strive to publish content that fits the values and mission of our

to have it as organized as possible. On that note, we have outlined
