WNBA rookie sensation Caitlin Clark would have had every reason to be upset after she was left off the Team USA roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics. But it sounds like she is taking a very different approach.
During a recent interview, Caitlin Clark made it clear that she isn’t necessarily upset that she wasn’t selected for the team. Instead, she is using it as motivation to make the team in four years.
“I wouldn’t say I’m bummed,” Clark said according to the Indianapolis Star. “It gives you something to work for, I’m sure, and something to dream of, and in four years you can be there. Four years comes fast. That’s your time in college, and I feel like I was just a freshman in college.
“It shows you that you’ve got to start working now if you want that to be your dream in four years. That’s it for me – work hard and hopefully you can be there.”
In the meantime, Clark will be rooting for Team USA to bring home the gold medal.
“I’m excited for the girls that are on the team,” Clark said. “I’m excited for them, going to be rooting them on to win gold. I was a kid who grew up watching the Olympics and it’ll be fun watching.”
