FORT LAUDERDALE—Bobby Blair, CEO of Multimedia Platforms Inc. (OTCQB: EAHCD)(“MMP”), was included in the recently released Bollettieri: Changing the Game, the autobiography of world famous tennis coach Nick Bollettieri. Blair was included as one of the most significant people whom Bollettieri has mentored.
Blair, a junior tennis champion in the mid-80s, was included in the book highlighting other tennis greats that Bolletteri has coached. Among them: Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, Maria Sharapova, Boris Becker, Monica Seles, and Serena Williams.
Blair’s friendship with Bollettieri has remained strong over the years, and, as Bollettieri noted in his book, the tennis coach felt honored to be a key speaker at the US Open 2013 event where Blair’s own new book, Hiding Inside The Baseline, was presented.
“Hiding Inside the Baseline,” by Blair and Barry Buss, chronicles Blair’s tale of growing up and pursuing a career in professional tennis in the 80s when there would have been negative consequences for being openly gay. “I began my career feeling very much alone as a gay athlete and sports professional,” stated Bobby Blair. “When I discovered that there were over 18 million other LGBT people in North America alone, I determined to bring them together and help them find their unified voice. I put together an all-star team of Social Media, Internet newspaper, and magazine professionals who are now delivering news, entertainment, and social media services to an ever-growing audience in the $850 billion LGBT community.”
“I can’t say enough about how proud I am of Bobby for all that he has accomplished and continues to do to bring equality and understanding to the world,” wrote Bollettieri.
“Bobby Blair is committed to providing a safe and confidential support team for LGBT athletes around the globe and by sharing his experiences and showing how important it is to live your truth,” according to another tennis champion, Billy Jean King. “I know he will make a major impact in the lives of those he reaches through his foundation (The Brian Neal Fitness & Health Foundation) and his new book,” stated King.
MMP enjoys strong support from an international community of high-profile professionals who have worked with Blair in the past and respect his accomplishments and leadership. MMP is expanding its print publications as well as its Global Agenda Network™ machine into a global LGBT media industry leader.
