Many kids dream about being a famous athlete one day. They follow their favorite players, keep track of statistics, and discuss all of it with their friends. But with unprecedented access courtesy of the Internet, kids today are more savvy than ever--they are not only aware of batting averages and touchdowns scored, but also about how much money each player makes, what shoe he or she endorses, and what is being said on social media. The Urban Entrepreneur collection, which is comprised of four books, each with a different theme, turns its attention to the superstars of the sports world.
Urban Entrepreneur: Sports relates will capture the attention of every young reader who loves to play, watch, or talk about his favorite players or teams. Readers will learn about icons they're very familiar with, and even some whom they may not have head of...George Foreman, who transitioned from a successful boxer to a multi-million dollar pitch man on TV...Dave Bing, an all-star guard who ended forming a very successful company and also becoming a big-city mayor...Oscar De la Hoya, the "Golden Boy" who made a fortune in--and out--of the boxing ring. Finally, although most readers will know that Michael Jordan is the most successful former athlete in terms of business success, they will be interested to learn about how it all started for him, and how Nike took a huge gamble on him as a young rookie.
All four books in the Urban Entrepreneur series are designed to entertain and educate young readers of all ages. To read a sample from Urban Entrepreneur: Sports, please click HERE
