Colin Kaepernick’s next memoir: What’s coming after Change the Game?

In a tete-a-tete with Rebecca Clarke of the NY Times, New York Times, Colin Kaepernick went full throttle, dropping big news on his plans for another memoir. A follow-up to Change the Game—while also giving fans a rare glimpse behind the scenes of his publishing hustle. The former NFL QB opened up about everything from his favorite reads to the business side of running a publishing house.

When Clarke asked about what he’s learned since launching his own company, Kaepernick didn’t sugarcoat it, he laid it out straight. Saying, “The difficulties that creators face while trying to bring their stories to life. The existing business models don’t allow for all creators to tell their stories.” Interestingly, Kaepernick admits he wasn’t exactly a bookworm as a kid. He shared that it was We’ll Never Forget You, Roberto Clemente by Trudie Engel that made him feel seen.

And for those hoping for another Kaepernick memoir? The answer is a resounding ‘Yes!’ He’s not only ready to continue his high school story from Change the Game but is also planning a full memoir down the line. Though details of the next chapter are still hazy, just the mention of it has fans and media buzzing. So, if you thought Kaepernick was winding down his off-field plays—think again! This guy is just getting started.
