OT will offer a business/lifestyle focus, providing its exclusive readership with important news, insights and real world advice about developments related to the professional sports industry. Through interviews and columns, OT plans to cater to the unique lifestyle of professional athletes on and off the field and observe some of the most relevant and controversial topics that affect professional sports.

OT's publishing and editorial staff includes NFL veteran and Editor-in-Chief of OT, Ryan McNeil; former Robb Report Publisher and Founder of RMS Media Group, Rick Sedler; former Elite Traveler Editorial Director and current OT Editorial Director, Stacy Small; former Editor-in-Chief of Inc. magazine and advisor to OT, George Gendron; former NBA player and OT VP of Corporate Communications, Charles D. Smith; and award winning art director Russ Rocknak.

McNeil said, "This magazine is created in the name of progression. It is a gift to all professional athletes past, present and future." In a prior announcement, McNeil said the magazine "will offer rare insight into the industry as it relates to former, current and future professional athletes."

The launch of OT coincided with PBFN Acceleration 2004, an annual conference hosted by McNeil to bring professional athletes together to foster business skills. The three-day business conference was held June 11-13 in Miami, FL.
