Synopsis Kevin Pangos grew up in a family that valued hard work and personal accountability. Kevin Pangos fell in love with all sports but especially basketball. Kevin Pangos went on to become one of the best age-group basketball players in the world before he journeyed to Spokane, Washington to become a fan favorite and one of the best point guards in the history of Gonzaga University. In Can't Miss, first-time author Chris Dooley captures the essence of the number of people involved in helping in the development of a world-class athlete. In the tradition of Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, Jay Bilas' Toughness and Jim Loehr's The Only Way to Win Dooley shows that the life and development of Kevin Pangos is about the process and the people around him as much as it is about the inherent work ethic so evident in everything Kevin does. Can't Miss is not just a biography about a young basketball phenom. It's about the family values of the Pangos family. It's about the great coaches and trainers who helped Kevin along the way. It's about the opportunities that Kevin was given and it's about how Kevin took advantage of all those opportunities in pursuit of his basketball dreams. Can't Miss is a story that every parent and every young athlete should read. , "I have trained Super Bowl champions, I have trained NHL Hall of Famers, and Kevin Pangos is on a very, very short list of great people and athletes I've worked with." --Matt Nichol, professional athletic trainer and inventor of BioSteel "They haven't had a bad practice in four years," says Gonzaga coach Mark Few, who turns rhapsodic talking about either player. "You can't say that about many guys. It's been a blessing to have my kids, my own children, observe them for four years," says Few. "You couldn't have scripted two better role models." --Gonzaga Coach Mark Few, on Kevin and Gary Bell Jr., in Seattle Times interview "Kevin has been my guy since that U15 Ontario Team. On the court we really connected, but off the court it has been so much more. He was a country hick, and I was a city boy, and we've been through so much together. Now we are like family. Brothers." --Anthony Bennett, 2013 NBA number one overall draft pick "Coach K told us that Pangos was the head of the snake, and to beat Gonzaga we had to control Pangos because he makes all the other players around him so much better." --Quinn Cook, Duke guard assigned to cover Pangos in 2015 NCAA Elite Eight game "Everybody loves Kevin Pangos. He's not just a player but also a person of high integrity and high character who knows what hard work is and what hard work will bring you. He plays the game the right way, to help his team win games." --Leo Rautins, 1983 NBA first round draft pick and former Canadian National Team head coach
