Our guest today is a legend, an icon and one of the most decorated female basketball athletes to ever put on a uniform, LVFL Candace Parker. While at Tennessee, she became the first woman to dunk in an NCAA tournament and brought home back to back national championship titles in 2007 and 2008. As the first pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft, she went on to have a successful professional career being named WNBA Rookie of the Year, WNBA Finals MVP, as well as winning two Gold Medals for Team USA and three WNBA championship titles – AND she's not done playing yet! Off the court, she is a mother, a wife, a broadcaster, and an inspiring role model for young women ever… including me!
