    About this series

    “Kyle Adams’ book contains valuable lessons for leaders in all walks of life. There is so much more to be gained from basketball than money, glory, or even scholarships. Discarding the Mask is a blueprint on how to fully realize these benefits and uplift our communities.”

    Jesse Washington, co-author of I Came as a Shadow, the autobiography of John Thompson.


    Basketball is more than free throws, three-pointers, early practices, and away games. It’s about authenticity and learning how to meet each player where they are. It’s about cultivating a team individually and collectively to show them the value each teammate has — on and off the court.

    Discarding the Mask reveals the man behind every title he carries. The pages of this book uncover remarkable life lessons Kyle Adams learned throughout his tenure coaching women’s basketball. He is an open book as he pens his journey of being a coach and the mentorship he embodies to provide a safe space for student-athletes. He candidly shares his greatest influences, life’s challenges, and the transformational relationships that have shaped him throughout his coaching and leadership journey. Throughout every chapter, you will see the common thread of meaningful connections and the Soul Sacrifices of a Coach as he strives to leave a lasting impact on everyone he engages.
