STACK magazine is a sports magazine dedicated to help high school student athletes train better, using training routines from star pro athletes. It aims to provide information, inspiration and entertainment to its readership, and covers both effectiveness in performance and sports lifestyle issues.[1] Stack is distributed free of cost six times per year to 12,000 high schools currently (about 70% of all U.S. high schools with sports programs[2]), having an estimated five million athletes read each issue.[3]

Contents
The magazine covers a wide variety of sporting topics, including football, basketball, baseball, track, soccer, volleyball, swimming, wrestling, softball and hockey. Articles also cover lifestyle and nutrition issues, and include facts about drugs and alcohol, and their effects on performance. Each issue contains at least one article written by a professional athlete, and at least one article from a high school student. It also features articles by coaches and trainers detailing training tips, dietary information, and workout plans which can be the longest part of the magazine.[4]
The magazine also has a Reader Panel, open to athletes aged between thirteen and twenty-four, who can then test out programs and equipment and can write for the magazine.[5]
History
"STACK" was started by Chad Zimmerman and Nick Palazzo, both former collegiate athletes, in Cleveland, Ohio in February 2005 to discourage the use of anabolic steroids by high school athletes.[1] It was originally financed privately, helped by a $15,000 win from a 2003 competition organized by Northeast Ohio's Council of Smaller Enterprises. Further financing has come from its current Chairman and from private equity firm CapitalWorks LLC of Cleveland.[2] The extensive readership, mostly males in the age range 12–24, has attracted major Blue Chip advertisers including Nike, Inc., Reebok, Gatorade, and the United States Army.[6]
