Caitlin Clark’s competitive nature, shaped by playing with her brothers, fuels her success with the Indiana Fever, as highlighted in a recent ESPN+ documentary.
Caitlin Clark‘s fierce competitiveness is a key factor in her basketball prowess.
In the ESPN+ “Full Court Press” documentary series aired this weekend, Clark‘s parents suggested her competitive nature stemmed from playing with her two brothers.
Now a standout with the Indiana Fever, Clark’s competitive streak remains strong.
During Sunday’s practice, Clark took a three-point shot intended to simulate a game-winning buzzer beater. After missing the shot, she turned and struck a padded side-wall in frustration.
Indiana Fever head coach Christie Sides addressed Clark’s reaction when speaking with the media.
“They’re all really competitive, and that’s what is gonna drive us,” Sides said of her team.
“Our competitive spirit,” Sides continued. “I mean, we wanna make sure that we’re the hardest working, most competitive team in the gym. They want to win everything, and we were working on some late-game stuff. And, I mean, [Clark] didn’t get the shot.”
Sides concluded, “[Clark’s] gonna get those shots and she’s gonna hit ‘em. We’re gonna give her that opportunity.”
The Fever head coach clearly trusts her star player.
