“Candace Parker has been a trailblazer on and off the court, inspiring us all with her resilience, authenticity, and purpose-driven life. We are thrilled to work with Candace and present her extraordinary book to readers from all walks of life.

Candace Parker is a living legend. Her storied career includes three WNBA titles, two Olympic gold medals, and countless MVP Awards. Her career accolades are endless and her impact on the WNBA beyond measure, but Candace 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 is fiercely purpose-driven, paving 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. But this success didn’t happen by accident. From the start, Candace turned her childhood nickname, Can-Do, into a daily mantra that helped her overcome enormous physical and mental hurdles while embracing her vulnerability. In her first-ever book, Candace breaks down that ultimate recipe for success, drawn from the experiences that made her a better person and player. CAN-DO becomes an acronym to live by:

- Learn from and lean on your Community
- Show up as Authentically you
- Realize that Negativity is a part of life
- Embrace the excitement of the everyday Dash
- And fight for Opportunity for yourself and others.

It’s how Candace has succeeded on the court and off, and it can help readers do so, too. Told through personal stories, The Can-Do Mindset is for Candace’s countless fans who want to see behind the curtain of her meteoric career and life, and for all of us who could learn from an icon who lives bravely, unapologetically, and guided by purpose.
