What Caitlin Clark Is Afraid Of
EPISODE 141: A journalistic conversation with Wright Thompson.
America generates an endless stream of opinions about Caitlin Clark, but there’s been almost no in-depth reporting about how her mind actually works.
So before Clark’s Indiana Fever visit Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky tonight — just days after Caitlin broke the WNBA’s rookie record for three-pointers, which happened a week after breaking the rookie record for assists — I wanted to sit down with my old colleague, Wright Thompson, of ESPN.
Wright is the only journalist alive who has embedded with Michael Jordan; psychologically probed Tiger Woods; and spent months getting to know Caitlin Clark, her family, and her team at the University of Iowa, behind closed doors.
And we dive into what it’s like to live alongside a young phenomenon who doesn’t process fear or emotion the way most human beings do… and how she has been trying, privately, to change.
