Caitlin Clark playfully teases a Fever staff member during her first appearance at training camp.
Caitlin Clark finds herself reminded daily that she’s far from her small-town Iowa roots, evidenced by the presence of a security guard assigned to her by the Indiana Fever.
During a press conference on Sunday, Clark jokingly pointed out the guard named Steve, indicating that he’s keeping a close eye on her. This level of security isn’t new to Clark, given her rise to stardom in college basketball at Iowa, which necessitated similar measures to ensure her safety.
Now, as the Indiana Fever’s top draft pick, Clark is adjusting to life in the pros, including the faster pace of the game and the need to adapt more quickly. She expressed confidence that the professional style suits her playing style, characterized by a fast-paced approach and quick decision-making.
Looking ahead to the preseason opener against the Dallas Wings, Clark acknowledges the pressure and expectations on both herself and the team to perform well. However, she embraces this challenge, stating that it’s exactly what she and her teammates desire – to have fans anticipate their success and to deliver strong performances on the court.
