How do you get your kids into sports without pushing them too hard, or worse, making them hate it? In this episode, Ryan sits down with one of the greatest athletes of all time, Candace Parker, to talk about parenting, competition, and what sports really teach us and our kids.


Candace Parker is one of the most influential athletes of all time. 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.
