Candace Parker

"My dad was my first coach and drove me extremely hard from a very young age."

"From my first dunk at 14 years old to my second NCAA Championship at the University of Tennessee, my intense training with my dad was always to credit."

"On my best days, such as when I was a junior in high school coming off a 42-point performance and near triple-double, my dad was there to tell me I haven't arrived yet and bring me back to reality."

"Today I know that there is still work to be done, but along the way my I am achieving my dreams."
