Caitlin Clark Opens Up About The 'Pressure' Of Being A Role Model

Indiana Fever star rookie Caitlin Clark took the time to attend some afternoon baseball at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, and she joined the YES booth with the Yankees broadcasters, answering some intriguing questions.

One question that stuck out was when she was asked if there was any pressure being looked up to by so many young girls.

"Does it put pressure on you to know so many young girls look up to you like that?" Clark was asked.

"Honestly, I don't think it's pressure; I think it's something that's really cool. That's not something that gets old to me. That's never something I take for granted. That's not anything I ever feel there's pressure from." Clark responded.

A classy and well-educated response from one of the best young athletes in the WNBA and in sports. She has handled everything thrown her way throughout her young career thus far. The league's month-long hiatus ends Sunday with the Paris Olympics coming to a close.

Clark returns to action this week for the final 14 games of her rookie season. Hoping to lead the Fever to a playoff berth. The former Iowa product leads the WNBA in assists and is 1st among rookies in points, assists, steals, field goals made, threes made, and true shooting percentage.
