Clark isn’t caught up in the hype as the Indiana Fever gear up for their season opener. And it all makes sense. Despite having over 19 records in her rookie season and almost every possible accolade, she’s not satisfied yet. For her, the achievement is yet to come!
She once again reignited the Fever fanbase, made it clear this week that she’s far from satisfied. “I crave wanting to be better.” It’s just six words. But when Caitlin Clark says them, they speak volumes. “I know I can get a lot better. I don’t think I’ve arrived by any means. I don’t think I’m at the peak of my game yet,” she said after Friday’s practice.
It’s a reality check—one that shows her greatness isn’t rooted in numbers alone, but in her hunger to grow. And that hunger? It’s only getting louder.
Clark’s resume from Year 1 is wild. She led the WNBA in assists (8.4 per game), was seventh in scoring (19.2), and ranked among the top 20 in rebounds and steals. She finished fourth in MVP voting—unheard of for a rookie—and helped the Fever reach the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
“I crave wanting to be better… I don’t think I’ve arrived, by any means”.

But ask her how she feels heading into Year 2, and it’s not about what she did. It’s about what’s next. “I’ve been in this league for a year now,” Clark said. “I know I belong. I know I can perform, and I know I can make my teammates better every single night.”
That’s the thing about Caitlin Clark. The confidence is there. But so is the humility. She knows she’s got the talent—but she also knows she has more to give.
