After emerging as perhaps the most popular women’s basketball player of all time and becoming the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft, Caitlin Clark knows she faces a lot of pressure to perform at the professional level. But she wouldn’t have it any other way.
After her first practice as a member of the Indiana Fever on Sunday, Caitlin Clark opened up a little bit about the insane pressure she will be facing this upcoming season, making it clear that she welcomes all of it.
“I think no matter what happens, there’s going to be expectations and pressure on my shoulders and pressure on this team to be really good. That’s how you want it,” Clark said according to Fox News. “We wouldn’t want anything else. We want people showing up to our games, people expecting us to win a lot of basketball games this year, and I’m expecting myself to play really well. I don’t think it’s anything that’s ever been different for me.”
Clark will have her first chance to show what she can do at the WNBA level when her Indiana Fever take on the Dallas Wings in their first preseason game. We’ll have to see how she performs.
