Caitlin Clark Wishes She Could Be ‘Normal’ as WNBA No. 1 Pick Opens Up Emotionally About Struggles for Fame in Full Court Press Teaser

In the teaser for a four-part documentary about the stars of women’s college basketball, former Iowa guard Caitlin Clark opened up about her struggles with fame.

Clark is one of three players that ESPN will focus on in an upcoming special called “Full Court Press.”

A trailer talks about how Clark deals with fame and people constantly recognizing her throughout the day.

“The hardest part of being Caitlin Clark, I would say… having to feel like you’re always there.

“You just have bad days and there are days when you don’t want to talk to anyone. But someone walks up to you and it’s their ten second interaction with you, so you better smile and say ‘be kind.

Clark was selected first overall by the Indiana Fever in this year’s WNBA Draft.

Now that she’s a professional basketball player, the pressure on Clark could increase even more in Indiana.

“But at the same time, it’s like… you just want to be normal sometimes.”

Connor McCaffrey, Clark’s boyfriend and former Iowa men’s basketball star, also made an appearance in the trailer.

“It’s not the same as what it used to be. Me and you can’t walk around like no one knows who you are, that’s not the reality of the situation,” he said.

‘And I think there are still times where she realizes it and she’s like, ‘Damn, that’s kind of lame.’

Clark now faces even more pressure as the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft. She’s also seen as a franchise savior for the Indiana Fever, who haven’t made the playoffs in quite some time.

That college popularity will carry over into his professional career – where the pressure could be greater than ever.

The four-part series will air May 11 and 12 on ABC as well as the streaming service ESPN+.
