Stack Media, a producer and distributor of sports performance, instruction and lifestyle content for active young males, announced on September 21, 2009 an exclusive relationship with NBA all-star and 2009 MVP LeBron James.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' star forward is featured on the cover of Stack Magazine's back-to-school issue with his four high school teammates, all of whom seek to inspire millions of young athletes with their individual success stories. The issue is scheduled to arrive in more than 9,500 high schools -- nearly 50% of our nation's secondary schools -- this week.

Stack's feature article on LeBron focuses on his tight-knit group of friends--who bonded as basketball teammates at St. Vincent St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio. Known as the "Fab Five," members of the group recollect their friendship growing up together and stress the importance of community support for young athletes.

"LeBron is more than just an athlete; he is living proof that young people can achieve their dreams in any facet of life," said Nick Palazzo, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Stack Media.

Stack Magazine is distributed six times per year at no cost to high school athletes. It is the only national publication requested and distributed by high school athletic directors, with a circulation of more than 800,000 and a readership of more than five million athletes.

Stack contains nutrition and training tips from elite professional and collegiate athletes and their trainers. In addition to LeBron James, the back-to-school issue also features articles on three-time Olympic gold medalist and world record holding sprinter Usain Bolt and New York Jets starting quarterback Mark Sanchez.
