SC Featured: How Caitlin Clark is inspiring a new generation

As a little girl, Iowa’s Caitlin Clark was competitive at everything she did... and dreamed of one day earning a college basketball scholarship. Now she’s the face of the sport, harnessing that competitive fire to score more points than any player in the history of Division I basketball, all while inspiring a new generation of kids to dream big, just like she did.

from Guatemala CA, thank you ESPN for introducing us to CC (the best)

I appreciate ESPN and all the big outlets finally showing support to women’s sports. Caitlin is One of HUNDREDS of women that came before her that paved the for her to be the person she is today. Let’s also thank the coaches for taking the training wheels off the Girls Basketball Game to allow us to play more “like the boys”.. girls can ball too! She is proof. Congratulations 🥳 BALLER!! ⛹️

In a time when things seem SO dark...this is a GREAT story!!!!

CC is the best I have ever seen...incredible. I am of course praying for a National Championship but very concerned about the path Iowa has to the final. Also seeing SC play so far is just mind boggling. Nonetheless trying to keep hopes up for Iowa...❤

From various media reports, Caitlin Clark seems to have something that Michael Jordan & Tom Brady also have: an absolute hatred of "losing" -- at anything, whether it's tiddlywinks or the Final Four. You'd have to think that this will "translate" to professional sports & the WNBA. And as someone who doesn't watch or attend WNBA games, I can say that will change next year, when she joins the Indiana team. If my city had a WNBA team, I would definitely buy tickets & pay to see her shooting those "deeper than Steph Curry" three-pointers. Caitlin Clark is, and will continue to be I think, a sports & cultural "phenomenon." I can't wait to see what she does!

I usually don’t watch women’s basketball, but I do watch basketball. We don’t have to look up to LeBron James or Michael Jordan as basketball heroes. We have Caitlin Clark who has a very competitive fierce in her blood. She spent her days playing against the boys. Wow!!! That’s an amazing story!

So thankful she chose to stay home in Iowa, us Hawkeye fans are so grateful for her. Can’t wait to see her accomplish so many more things in her career. Let’s bring this one home hawks!!! 🖤💛

Coach Bluder doesn't get enough credit. She pilots this CC rocketship.

[soliskings]

Let's be honest she's playing better than the whole wbna right now the whole new generation coming she's going to get paid 😂

Americans are drawn to Caitlin not only because of her exciting style of play, but because she comes from an intact family whose love for each other is obvious. That’s inspiring. Michael Jordan’s family is another example. We appreciate strong fathers

[kinguman]

She might be able to save the WNBA, like what Magic and Bird did for the NBA

[jcgothard]

CC rested will be a Monster released! 😮 She is the new face of the Wnba. And she'll prove why in the second half that the haters can't ignore 😅
