Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark has made her impact in the WNBA as one of the best rookie stars the league has ever seen. Throughout the season, Clark has displayed her excellence on the court with elite playmaking and shooting skills. Clark even led the Fever to their first playoffs appearance since 2016. In addition to her basketball prowess, many fans might not realize that Clark is a multi-talented athlete who has also explored other sports.
Recently, one of Caitlin Clark‘s fan pages posted a video on social media showing the Fever rookie playing soccer. The video surprised many WNBA fans who were unaware of Clark’s involvement in other sports. In the video, fans watched Clark receive a good pass from her teammate and then score an outstanding goal.
During her high school days, Clark played soccer for Dowling Catholic high school in Iowa. According to another post, Clark was also named to the All-State First team and was the only freshman to do it. In just six games, the Indiana rookie managed to score 26 goals.
Clark missed many games of her soccer season because she was focused on winning the gold medal for Team USA in the U-16 FIBA Americas Championship.
