Ultimate Athlete Magazine Dear Readers, Fall is here, school is back in session and it’s football season! It’s that time of the year when all of the hard work during the off-season is measured. Every team and athlete’s goal is to win a championship for their school. Fall is when hours spent in the weight room, miles that have been run, and work put in at two-a-days finally begins to pay off. In this issue we’ve covered the first weeks of football season at Erasmus Hall, Abraham Lincoln, Boys & Girls, Brooklyn Tech, Curtis and Sheepshead Bay High Schools. Although, fall is best known as Football season, we have also followed the Martin Luther King, Jr.’s boys’ soccer team and the Tottenville’s girls’ soccer team. At Ultimate Athlete Magazine, we don’t just believe in touchdowns, goals, wins and losses. An athlete is more than just a name and stats. A team is more than just wins and losses. We like bring a more in depth approach for the athletes we cover, the coaches that guide them, the school they play for and the neighborhood they represent. Four years of high school is a short period of time for an athlete to, hopefully, make a name for themselves, be a part of a championship team and grow as an individual. Whether an athlete is just playing for the love of the game or they’re trying to play at the college level, their hard work and dedication to their teammates is exemplary, and has not gone unnoticed. We’re pleased to bring you exciting stories from high school sports throughout New York City and are looking forward to the rest of the 2013 fall season.
