The Fever rookie had some free time to talk to reporters during the WNBA Olympic break.
While the U.S. women’s Olympic basketball team looks to capture its eighth straight gold in Paris this summer, Caitlin Clark remains stateside splitting her time between Indiana Fever practices and, apparently, a longstanding golf hobby.
During a Fever media availability on Tuesday, Clark told reporters that the WNBA All-Star/Olympic break has been good for her mental health after an “emotionally exhausting” first half of the season. She also gave her honest thoughts on how she felt about missing out on what could have been her first Olympics.after a reporter asked if she was "bummed" about not playing in the Olympics. “It’s certainly cool. It’s like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you’re only going to ever get in four years. So I wouldn’t say I’m necessarily bummed. I think it gives you something to work for sure and something to dream of.
“Four years comes fast,” continued Clark. “It makes me think of, like, that’s your time in college, and I feel like I was just a freshman… It shows you that you gotta start working now if you want that to be your dream in four years. So I think that’s it for me, you know, work hard and hopefully you can be there.”this summer despite her undeniable impact in the WNBA so far.
Clark and the Fever won’t be back in action until Aug. 16, set to play against Olympian great Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury.Kristen Wong is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
