Caitlin Clark’s success in the WNBA isn’t merely a result of her natural talent; it’s also due to her relentless work ethic. Clark, a standout for the Indiana Fever, has invested significant effort behind the scenes to reach her level of excellence. It takes an extraordinary mental strength and elite mindset to consistently practice and hone one’s skills. In a recent interview, Clark discussed her dedication, emphasizing that she genuinely enjoys practicing. “I don’t know if everyone feels this way, but I do love practice,” she shared on September 13, before the Fever’s game against the Las Vegas Aces. “We keep it light and fun and enjoy each other’s company.”
Clark acknowledges that her enthusiasm for practice is somewhat unique among players. While many players handle the daily grind without complaint, her joy for practice stands out and positively influences her Fever teammates. “We have a lot of fun on the court,” she noted. “We celebrate each other’s successes, which I believe contributes to our overall team success. I try to bring that positive energy every day. If it wasn’t enjoyable, we wouldn’t love it as much. To me, it feels like being a kid again.”
