About the Book

Why Players Go Broke examines the root causes of the high frequency of bankruptcy amongst professional athletes, with an emphasis on NBA players. Retired NBA player Adonal Foyle interviews current and retired athletes and draws on his personal experience to document a comprehensive list of pitfalls to avoid. The book is of interest to professional athletes, aspiring professional athletes, sports fans and all who want to better manage their finances.

About the Author :
Adonal Foyle played 13 seasons in the NBA: 10 with the Golden State Warriors, three with the Orlando Magic-and one game with the Memphis Grizzlies. After hanging up his jersey, he served the Orlando Magic as Director of Player Development for two seasons. Adonal graduated magna cum laude from Colgate University with a degree in history. He earned his master's degree in sports psychology (which he began during his NBA career), from John F. Kennedy University in Pleasant Hill, CA. His master's thesis, for which he interviewed numerous colleagues, was an in-depth study into the life changes experienced by NBA players upon retirement. During his NBA career, Adonal served as Vice President of the National Basketball Players Association and represented NBA players during labor disputes and collective bargaining negotiations. Adonal is also the founder and president of two non-profit organizations. His Kerosene Lamp Foundation empowers underprivileged youth through the organization's Athletics & Academics Camp, mentorship, and literacy initiatives. His other non-profit, Democracy Matters, encourages young people to get involved in the political system and let their voices be heard about the proliferation of money in politics. Adonal has received many honors, including induction into the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame, and the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame, appointment as a Goodwill Ambassador to St. Vincent & the Grenadines, NBA Players Association Community Contribution All-Star Award, Social Change Agent (Greenlining Institute), NBA Community Assist Awards (multiple years) and named Runner Up Central Floridian of the Year by the Orlando Sentinel in 2010. Adonal graduated magna cum laude from Colgate University, and has a Masters in Sports Psychology at John F. Kennedy University. In his spare time Adonal enjoys reading, wine tasting, playing racquetball, traveling, and writing poetry.
