Clark praised herself for this skill
You don’t have to be a sports expert to see the WNBA evolving and growing in popularity, thanks largely to the impressive rookies who have become true stars of the sport. One of the leaders in this charge is Caitlin Clark, a trailblazer this season.
Typically, the Indiana Feverguard doesn’t give herself the credit she deserves, often leaving it to Aliyah Boston to sing her praises. But during a press conference, Aliyah pointed out that Caitlin never gets tired, and Caitlin herself revealed the secret: she never stops sprinting, even at home.
"Do you see the way I run? I just sprint all the time…I sprint into my apartment. I just sprint. I love sprinting."

Clark’s dedication to incorporating this skill into all areas of her life not only helps her stay in peak condition but also makes sprinting amore natural and daily activity. Basketball is a fast-paced, skillful game demanding peak endurance. While all positions benefit from sprinting, guards need it the most for their roles in fast breaks, defensive pressure, and constant movement. Small forwards also prioritize sprinting for their versatility on both offense and defense.
A fresh perspective on team dynamics
In numerous interviews, Caitlin Clark has always emphasized that her main focus is the team’s success, dedicating her energy to that goal. That’s why Fever fans are thrilled to see Clark, for the first time, giving herself a well-deserved pat on the back for consistently keeping up the pace and maintaining her skill.
The Indiana Fever fanbase is buzzing about the dynamic interactions between Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston, who have shown they’re a fantastic duo. While Boston firmly believes her teammate Clark is the Rookie of the Year, others are championing Angel Reese.
The rookies each bring something unique to the table, but their personalities are what truly set them apart. Angel is a master of making a statement and generating drama on the court. With a powerful media presence and a lively social media game, she knows how to stay in the spotlight. Caitlin Clark, on the other hand, keeps a lower profile, steering clear of drama and rarely speaking about herself as the star player she is for the team. Her humility stands out, even as the rivalry between these two young stars heats up.
This competition among the rising stars has injected a new level of excitement into the WNBA season, showcasing not just their incredible talent but also the electrifying dynamics between the rookies.
The upcoming WNBA All-Star game is set to be a must-watch event, as Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will join forces on the same team. This game promises to be a thrilling spectacle, potentially shifting the dynamics of their rivalry and adding a new layer to the race for Rookie of the Year.
