Joining us today is Adonal Foyle. Adonal is a long time NBA vet, McDonald’s All American, and fellow freshman in the Patriot League 23 years ago. It’s a bit of a walk down memory lane for Adonal and me but we quickly move into the good stuff.
Adonal is not your average Joe. He’s an accomplished author, investor, entrepreneur, and obviously a successful NBA basketball player.
His perspective on player development is spot on—he’s so aware of the journey and breaks it down to a simple equation to help players on and off the court.
If you are in life skills, player development, or an active player, you will want to look Adonal up. Let’s jump in.
