Star Ex-Tennese Candace Parker with tear eyes reflects on the legacy of the summit

Before she won a couple Wnba mvp Trophies, Candas Parker rose to national basketball at Tennessee University. Parker was a participant in the two teams who received the National Championship, earning the NCAA tournament, the most outstanding players on the way.

Parker was guided by the Pat Summit coach during his excellent stay with volunteer. Parker, NBA analyst at TNT, needed a moment to share how she continues to conduct the lessons that the dead were assigned to it many years ago.

“I would say that contact with the eyes is really, really, very important. And she was the first to make me really look at her when she talked,” Parker replied at the request of co-authors Adam Lefko to share several commemorative tips from Summitt during the “plot” segment.

“We all want to have a relationship with anyone, as you are with Pat,” Lefko said. “I will never forget you to tell me about how you enrolled in college. You’ve been hurt and she just make you sit there. And you guys talked. I think it’s a blessing. I want you to thank us with these stories because we don’t have such relationships as you.
