Caitlin Clark, the standout star from the Iowa Hawkeyes, is currently the most prominent figure in women’s sports.
Her rising fame is set to peak as she is expected to be the first overall pick in the WNBA Draft on Monday evening.
In a Monday morning interview with “Today,” Clark, aged 22, shared insights into how her life has transformed recently. “Life’s changed a lot,” she remarked on the show.
Her visibility soared even higher over the weekend after her appearance on “Saturday Night Live” on NBC. Clark confessed that this experience was more daunting than any basketball game. “I don’t get nervous for basketball games,” she explained. “But going in front of a live audience on national television, doing something outside of your comfort zone, is a little scary. My heart was pounding out of my chest.”
