Caitlin Clark began getting national media attention during her stint with the All Iowa Attack in the AAU. She started playing in sixth grade and led the team to a highly coveted 2017 Nike GEYBL finals. Clark eventually carried the Attack to the 2018 championship before finishing runner-up the next year.
An old clip of Clark preparing for the Attack to repeat in 2019 has emerged. With Clark as the team’s unquestioned superstar, many were interested to know more about her. Here’s what she said when asked to describe how her teammates looked at her:
“My teammates would describe me as probably kind of crazy, a little fun (and) kind of the mom in a way, too. I’m always looking out for them.”

Caitlin Clark has been very competitive in every sport she plays. She told AP in an interview that she would cry every time her team lost when she was six years old.
The relentless drive only grew as her competition became better. When she played for the All Iowa Attack, she was even more determined to win every game. Clark’s AAU coach Dickson Jensen raved about her work ethic in a chat with USA Today. By becoming better and winning more games, Clark looked out for her teammates.
Caitlin Clark took pride in her passing when she started playing AAU basketball
Caitlin Clark is famous for her deep shots in the NCAA and WNBA. In her rookie season with the Indiana Fever, her average 3-point distance was 28.09 feet. For reference, Steph Curry averaged 27.58 feet. Trae Young was the closest to Clark, launching his shots from 27.94 feet on average.
Despite her traditional long-range bombs, passing that has always appealed to the Iowa great. While playing in the AAU, Clark said about the part of her game she's most proud of:
“Part of my game I take the most pride in, I would say, probably my passing ‘cause I like to throw cool passes.”
Even when Caitlin Clark finished as the NCAA Division 1, men’s or women’s, all-time career points leader, she remained enamored with passing.
Last season, she set the WNBA record for most assists in a season. Alyssa Thomas had held the record, with 316 in 2023. The Rookie of the Year winner obliterated it with 337.
