M.A.D. MANNYSHOW ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT
You think you’re at the top of your game? Think again. Complacency is the enemy, and the only real competition is the person you were yesterday.
Armed Forces Entertainment is bringing former NFL pro’s Manny Arceneaux and 2X Super Bowl XLV & XLVI champion Derrick Martin to your turf. They didn’t get to the league by being “good enough.” They got there by dominating the competition.
This is your chance to prove you have what it takes. MAD – “Manny Athletic Development” isn’t about holding your hand; it’s about pushing you until you break, and then building you back stronger. This is where you separate the contenders from the pretenders.
Are you going to be the one setting the pace, or the one struggling to keep up? Grab your Battle Buddy and get ready to sweat. It’s time to find out who has what it takes to be the best. Don’t just meet the standard. Be the standard.

Performers need to perform. It's in their DNA. Plus, going on tour with Armed Forces Entertainment is an opportunity for artists to give back and honor the sacrifices deployed servicemembers and their families make on behalf of our country. For up-and-coming artists, touring with AFE is a great way to build an audience. For established artists, it's an up-close-and-personal way to say thanks to fans.

It's FREE to attend every Armed Forces Entertainment show. Every single show, every single time.

Why are there occasional schedule changes?
Sometimes emergencies and personal challenges pop up for scheduled artists. Add the uncertainty of world politics, and tour agendas inevitably shift.

Can I invite non-military people to AFE events?
It depends on the rules of your installation. In general, yes, non-military guests are allowed at AFE shows. But military personnel are our priority.
Manny Arceneaux’s journey in the world of football is nothing short of extraordinary. Born and raised in Alexandria, Louisiana, his love for the game propelled him to pursue a bachelor of arts degree in psychology from Alcorn State University in Lorman, Mississippi, setting the stage for a remarkable career ahead.
His impact in the CCFL as a standout player for the British Columbia Lions was undeniable, earning him recognition and respect across the league. This success caught the eye of the NFL, leading Arceneaux to sign with the Minnesota Vikings in 2011, where he continued to showcase his exceptional skills on a new platform.
Beyond his on-field accomplishments, Arceneaux is deeply committed to giving back to his community. Through mentoring youth in North Texas, Greater Vancouver in Canada and Alexandria Public Schools in Virginia, he inspires and uplifts the next generation, leaving a lasting positive influence wherever he goes. His certification as a speed and agility coach with the National Sports Performance Association and his Level 1 Certification in USA Weightlifting further exemplify his dedication to excellence and highlight his commitment to personal growth and helping others reach their full potential.
Born on May 16, 1985, Derrick Jerome Martin is a former American football safety. After playing for Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver, Colorado, he played college football at the University of Wyoming. He was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the sixth round of the 2006 NFL draft.
In addition to his career with the Ravens, he played for the Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, New England Patriots and Chicago Bears. With the Packers, he won Super Bowl XLV over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the following year, with the Giants, he won Super Bowl XLVI over the Patriots.
