Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Childhood and Early Life High School Years College Years at University of Nevada Colin's NFL Career Colin Kaepernick's Legacy and Future An excerpt from the book: Colin Kaepernick continued to develop his overall athleticism by becoming a three-sport athlete at Pitman High School in Turlock. He played football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the spring. Two of the three would eventually become his standout sports.Kaepernick didn't have to do much as a quarterback at first. In fact, the Pride was known as a running team with a few powerful backs. In his game as a starter on September 9, 2004, Kaepernick only had five attempts with two completions - one of which was a 21-yard pass for a first quarter touchdown. But the team was led by junior-back Anthony Harding's 233 yards, and senior-back Mark Runyan's 117 yards as Pitman combined for 471 rushing yards in a 46-36 win at home against Kennedy High School (Sacramento).One week later, Kaepernick began to show how good of an arm he had when he went 14-for-20 for 203 yards and three touchdowns in a 19-7 victory over Johansen High School (Modesto) on September 17, 2004.The games would flip between whether the Pride would focus more on the rushing attack, or let Kaepernick have the opportunities to throw. His final numbers at the end of the season were 1,051 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions. Kaepernick helped the Pitman Pride to an 8-3 record in his junior season that ended on November 19, 2004 against West High School from Tracy, California - a state playoff game where they lost 35-21. Kaepernick was 14-for-27 for 171 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.

Colin Kaepernick: Change the Game (Graphic Novel Memoir) by Colin Kaepernick,Eve L. Ewing Pdf

Colin Kaepernick: Change the Game is an inspiring high school graphic novel memoir for readers 12 and up from celebrated athlete and activist Colin Kaepernick. A high school senior at a crossroads in life and heavily scouted by colleges and Major League Baseball (MLB), Colin has a bright future ahead of him as a highly touted prospect. Everyone, from his parents to his teachers and coaches, is in agreement on his future. Everyone but him. Colin isn’t excited about baseball. In the words of five-time all-star MLB player Adam Jones, “Baseball is a white man’s sport.” He looks up to athletes like Allen Iverson: talented, hyper-competitive, unapologetically Black, and dominating their sports while staying true to themselves. College football looks a lot more fun than sleeping on hotel room floors in the minor leagues of baseball. But Colin doesn't have a single offer to play football. Yet. This touching YA graphic novel memoir explores the story of how a young change-maker learned to find himself, make his own way, and never compromise.

Colin Kaepernick by Maurice I Crawford Pdf

Colin Kaepernick's decision to take a knee has cost him his job and money. His stand is within his rights as a United States citizen. However, the position he has taken is presented by some as disrespect to the country. Freedom of speech is a right to every citizen. Politics and Sports....Like water and oil.... They don't mix at all. Imagine that you wanted to get your point across in such a way that everyone would see your obvious point. There are millions of people watching football every Sunday. The perfect time to make a point would be during the American national anthem. The flag and the national anthem is not the focus here. It's not about disrespecting the flag or the American national anthem. It's about the injustices in America against people of color. America has a historical problem, and that problem is racism. Until we deal with the problem, America is going to continue to erode as a society. There has to be a reasonable solution to the race issue. We have to start to heal our wounds in America. America wants to be great again. To move forward, America has to deal with race and racism. As ugly as it is we must come to terms with it. Our future depends on it. Politics is not the solution. Too many times we put the responsibility on our politicians. The American people must solve this age-old problem. Our future generations deserve a chance to live in better America.
