WNBA: SEP 25 Playoffs First Round Indiana Fever at Connecticut Sun – Source: Getty
Allison Barber, the President and COO for the Indiana Fever showered praise on Caitlin Clark during a press conference this week. The appreciation for the Fever rookie came after a reporter asked Barber about her views on Clark and how other US athletes could learn from her composed demeanor.
Barber started her speech with praise and appreciation for Clark following which she gave a direct answer to the question.
“Caitlin is one of one, I have worked with a lot of great people and I don’t know anybody like Caitlin. In that she is 22, she is a multi-millionaire, she is carrying the burden and the weight of this pressure on her shoulder and she is great with the media and knows how to handle each situation really well.
“I think people will be inspired by that, they will take it on if they chose to, they’ll learn from it but she is very unique, so I am not sure if just anybody could learn that. It’s part of her family upbringing, her Iowa roots, her coaches. They have built this into Caitlin.”
Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever ended their 2023-24 campaign on a successful note. Although the Connecticut Sun eliminated them in the first round of the playoffs, their season can be considered an overall success.
The Fever made the playoffs for the first time since 2016 proving that the core of Clark, Boston and Mitchell have the grit to take this team on a deep playoff run next season.
Allison Barber discusses Caitlin Clark’s generosity to away team players
During the press conference, Allison Barber also revealed an incident concerning Caitlin Clark and the WNBA that shows the Fever rookie’s kindness. Ever since Clark’s debut, the league has shown a meteoric rise in attendance and viewership. Barber revealed that when Clark saw that the stadiums were sold out in their away games she advocated for the away team players.
“When we would go to away games they would always sold out… After a few away games and all the soldouts, Caitlin asked the WNBA if they would pay spot bonuses to the away team players… so that’s the heart of Caitlin Clark,” Barber said.
Furthermore, Barber said that the league denied Clark’s request as many factors played a part in the revenue system. She then revealed that the sportswear giant Nike compared the Indiana Fever rookie to Tiger Woods for her ability to bring in new people to the sport.
