Athletes Only, Fall 2014
Athletes Only started in 1995, out of requests from coaches for articles for their athletes. We were publishing American Track & Field magazine at the time (formerly American Athletics), and our 37,553 coaches noted in their qualification forms the need for a high quality magazine for 14-18 year olds. We sent out request forms and were inundated with 600,000 requests for copies. So, in 1995, we published American Track & Field Athlete, to 500,000 of our closest friends.
In 2001, we renamed the magazine Athletes Only and the rest, as you say in history. Today, we are releasing the digital version (there is a print version still), that is both responsive and mobile friendly).
Please pass it along. Also note that, at www.atf-athlete.com, if you sign up for the enewsletter, you will start receiving our Athletes Only pub, published five times in 2015. And, if you would like print copies, there is a place there to sign up as well, starting December 1, 2014.
In 2015, we are going to take some different directions with AO, watch for new design, poster opps and some fun approaches to this important segment of our sport, the 14-22 year old performance athlete.
