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.
