Posted 3 months ago

Caitlin Clark expressed that the most rewarding aspect of her journey has been the impact she's made on women's sports, especially as her record-breaking collegiate basketball career wraps up.

American basketball player Caitlin Clark has made history by scoring over 3,900 points, surpassing all college athletes, male or female, in scoring records. Her outstanding performances for the Iowa Hawkeyes have also led to record-breaking viewership numbers in the United States.

Clark emphasized the impact of giving women's sports a platform, highlighting the growth and success it can achieve. She mentioned playing in front of large crowds and ending the season with millions of viewers on TV as evidence of this progress.

Despite a defeat in the final game against South Carolina, where she scored 30 points, Clark's individual achievements, like breaking Pete Maravich's scoring record and setting records for three-pointers in a season, have sparked a surge in women's basketball fans, known as the 'Caitlin Clark Effect.'

As the predicted number-one pick in the upcoming WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever, Clark is also poised to potentially join the US squad for the Paris Olympics, further solidifying her impact on the sport.
