Caitlin Clark Had Wholesome Exchange With French Reporter About Her Global Impact
The Iowa star learned she’s a worldwide phenomenon.
Caitlin Clark is a worldwide phenomenon.
If she didn’t know it before Friday, the Iowa Hawkeyes star learned just that during media availability at the Big Ten tournament.
A reporter from France made the trip to Minneapolis to cover Clark and the Hawkeyes, and asked her if she realized the impact she’s making while empowering young women across the globe.
Clark broke into a big smile.
“I’ve never been to France but I would love to go,” she said. “I think it’s really cool. Even when we went on our foreign trip, there were a lot of people that would show up to our games and find out where we were playing—whether it was Italy or Croatia.
“Obviously, it’s hard for me to wrap my head around having an impact globally, and obviously that’s my goal and that’s my dream. That’s always what I want to do.”
Caitlin seemed to be taken aback when she realized a reporter came (from France?) to the big ten tournament to ask her about her impact across the world. Worth a listen pic.twitter.com/xTE5bAJQpm
