Candace Parker, one of the most decorated and celebrated women’s basketball players of all time, reveals her own deeply inspiring journey and teaches readers how to live bravely, unapologetically, and with purpose.
.
Candace Parker is one of the most influential athletes of this generation. After being selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft by the Los Angeles Sparks, following a champion career at Tennessee, Parker went on to become the first player to earn WNBA MVP and Rookie of the Year honors in the same season, win three WNBA championship titles, and take home two Olympic gold medals. Off the court, first and foremost, she is a wife and a mother of three children and three dogs. Since retiring, she serves as a public speaker, activist, entrepreneur, and studio broadcaster for men’s and women’s basketball.
.
Born in Riverside and a lifelong California resident, Cheryl Miller is a basketball legend. In high school, she became the first athlete, male or female, to make the Parade All-American high school team for four straight years. After leading the Trojans to the NCAA title in 1983 and 1984, she holds USC records for points, rebounds, field goals, free throws, steals and games played. An Olympic gold medalist, head coach and sportscaster, she’s one of the top five women’s collegiate basketball players in NCAA history.  Among her many honors, she most recently received the 2025 National Civil Rights Museum Sports Legacy award.

“Confidence, grit, determination . . . Candace Parker has it all and now she’s sharing the secrets to her success. I’ve had a front row seat to watching her CAN-DO Mindset in action and I’m excited for other folks to have the opportunity to hear it from her firsthand.” —Shaquille O’Neal
.
Candace’s story is even more inspiring off the court. A proud wife and mother of three whose love story resonated with the LGBTQ+ community around the world, Candace paved the way for the WNBA’s rise in American culture, and for female basketballers to have the impact and platform that used to be reserved for the NBA.  
.
Candace’s success didn’t happen by accident. From the start, she turned her childhood nickname, Can-Do, into a daily mantra that helped her overcome enormous physical and mental hurdles while embracing her vulnerability. Now in her first book, THE CAN-DO MINDSET, Candace breaks down the ultimate recipe for success, drawn from the experiences that made her a better person and player.
