At just 10 years old, George IV is already a published author, sought-after public speaker, and a powerful voice for literacy and youth empowerment. His latest achievement? The release of his third book, I Can Work in Sports, created in partnership with the Detroit Pistons. Officially launched on March 23, 2025, the book is another bold step in George’s mission to inspire children to dream big and believe in their potential—on or off the court.
I Can Work in Sports serves as both an engaging read and a powerful educational tool, introducing young readers to a world of career opportunities in the sports industry that go far beyond playing the game. From sports management and broadcasting to athletic training and event operations, George IV gives children a front-row seat to the many roles that support professional sports.
“I’m excited to show kids that they can be a part of sports in so many different ways,” George IV shared. “You don’t have to be a player to be successful in the sports industry—there are so many jobs that help make the game happen!"
The book’s release follows George IV’s third successful book tour in partnership with Cornerstone Schools, where he spoke directly to students across multiple campuses. His dynamic presence and passion for reading left a lasting impression, encouraging children to embrace education and pursue their dreams.
In recognition of his efforts, George IV has received several prestigious honors, including the Spirit of Detroit Award and the Principal’s Award for academic excellence. His April schedule was equally impressive—he participated in book signings at the grand reopening of Pages Bookshop, sat down for an interview with Johnny Kane on Sportscaster Media, and appeared in a segment on CBS Detroit.
With I Can Work in Sports, George IV continues to prove that age is no barrier to leadership, impact, and inspiration. His voice is one of hope, vision, and determination—a true force for good in the Detroit community and beyond.
The book is now available for purchase, and George IV just concluded the month of April by participating in book signings at the grand reopening of Pages Bookshop, interview with Johnny Kane on Sportscaster Media, and a segment on CBS Detroit.
