Caitlin Clark shares her thoughts on the challenges of leading the Indiana Fever

In the same conversation with Travis and Jason Kelce, Caitlin Clark talked about the struggles she faced during her rookie season. The former No. 1 overall pick explained that she had to adapt to the Indiana Fever environment on the go.

"You come in as a rookie. ... You're trying to figure out a new environment, new teammates," Clark said. "You don't want to say too much, you don't want to say too little and it's just so hard. ... You're already highly thought of. People are turning to you to be something or be someone."

She added that the uncertainty of how people would take her message was always there.

"I don't know what to say, I don't know how they're going to react."

After winning the 2024 Rookie of the Year award, she's ready to take her game and team to the next level.
