In a recent interview, the current basketball sensation Caitlin Clark opened up about her mindset before entering the WNBA. Clark is set to make her debut for the Indiana Fever against the Connecticut Sun after completing 12 camp practices. She expressed her excitement for her professional career and emphasized the importance of embracing the process and consistently improving.
“I am excited; I think this is the best way to do it; just get out there and go for it. It doesn’t really feel like my first game. I feel like it’s just kind of another basketball game that you prepare for in the same way you always have. For me, it’s like this is basketball, you just go play basketball, have fun doing it, and I think the result will be good.” Caitlin Clark said.

Clark doesn’t see any difference between playing in college and the WNBA. She said the new environment will not scare her or impact her game. She will enjoy it just as she did in her college career.
“I don’t think it’s any different than college. I’ve played in front of sold-out crowds literally every single game, so these environments don’t scare me or impact me at all. I think it’s just embrace it and enjoy it.” Clark continued.
Clark mentioned that every player can only play their debut game once, which is why she wants to fully enjoy the experience. Playing on the biggest platform is her dream, and this is what she has worked for. She also said that she is ready for this challenge.

It’s gonna be competitive. They’re really good, so you’ve got to prep the right way, too. More than anything, we’re ready for the challenge.” Clark added.
