Yesterday was an exciting day for WNBA star Caitlin Clark, as she picked up her second consecutive Honda Cup award, making history once again. During the award ceremony, Caitlin expressed her gratitude, stating that Lisa Bluder was the best leader she ever had.
Lisa Bluder was vocal during the ceremony, but one segment stood out to me. It seemed like she was sending a cryptic message to Christy Sides about coaching and managing key moments, which have been challenging for Christy. Let’s check out some of the footage:
“What advice would you give to someone going into coaching right now?”
“You know, I had to change with the times. I wasn’t the same coach this year as I was 30 years ago, 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago. My advice for a new coach would be to know your values, be yourself, and understand what you stand for so that you can make decisions easier.”
She emphasized the importance of staying focused and maintaining a tight-knit circle, especially in the face of media frenzy. Bluder advised young athletes to be cautious with social media and focus on their goals.
Reflecting on Caitlin Clark’s incredible on-court presence, Bluder shared insights into Clark’s off-court persona. Caitlin is genuine, giving, and understands her role as a role model for young fans. Bluder highlighted the importance of those personal moments with fans, which Caitlin values deeply.
Moving on to another story, Caitlin’s former teammate Kate Martin shared her thoughts on Caitlin’s success and the high expectations placed on her. She emphasized the need for fans to be realistic and supportive, recognizing Caitlin’s phenomenal skills and human side.
NBA legend Magic Johnson also weighed in, comparing Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese’s impact on the WNBA to his and Larry Bird’s impact on the NBA. He praised their influence and the record-breaking viewership their games have garnered.
In breaking news, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have made history again. Their recent game drew 2.3 million views, breaking their previous record of 2.22 million views. These rising stars are undoubtedly the hottest names in basketball right now.
