The Caitlin Clark effect posits that the Indiana Fever star always brings an audience to a stadium. Whether it's back at Iowa, any venue in March Madness, at the WNBA Draft, or even at her away games in the coming season, everybody loves seeing her thrive along with the swag she brings to the game. But, she is able to do this while being a positive influence. One that is able to give hope and portray the true aspect of her humanity despite her otherworldly shooting skills. All of this will be shown in a docuseries that features her with Kamilla Cardoso and Kiki Rice.
The Fever Star as someone to look up to
Caitlin Clark is surely different. She knows how to handle the pressure well and has clearly been able to perform under the spotlight. Her numbers and the pull she brings into March Madness and the WNBA are all that's talked about. But, it is her character that is seemingly very outstanding. Therese Andrews, the head of production for the Fever star's upcoming docuseries, outlined how great of a person Caitlin Clark was, per Owen Poindexter of Front Office Sports.
“So there were a lot of family moments that really pop off the screen. I think there’s also that quiet, a few steps removed from the spotlight for any character, that really helps you understand who they are on a deeper level. You see that with Caitlin. She has a really strong sense of self and awareness. I think, in that way, she’s a really wonderful role model, not just for women but for people,” the producer declared.
What makes Caitlin Clark a powerful role model?
The spotlight often has a lot of negative effects on a lot of personalities. Oftentimes, they succumb to the pressure and need to put on a mask that is far different from who they are. This leads to a ton of issues when it comes to privacy along with more worms in a can. Eventually, they devolve into individuals who aren't quite the best in the later years of their lives.
It is through vulnerability that most stars showcase their true character. The Fever star was good at dealing with her emotions. Moreover, she also does not just keep to herself. The docuseries' inside look allows people to see her amazing support system which has helped her since her rise to fame at Iowa.
“I think that with any character like this, who’s in the spotlight, and for her under the immense pressure that she was in this season, it was really powerful for us to be there in some of the more vulnerable quiet moments. We’re there while she’s with her family, with her boyfriend. Her family is just so core and critical to who she is as a person and also defines her as an individual and how she carries her life,” she declared.
In her last March Madness stint, Clark was clearly famished. She played six games with an average of 36.4 minutes per contest. The star out of Iowa knocked down 48.8% of her shots from all three levels of scoring and went ballistic with a 42.7% three-point stroke. All of which netted her 31.1 points a game while leading her squad to a second national championship game. Without a doubt, she will bring her good character to the Fever and rest of the WNBA.
