Former President Barack Obama had a simple message for Indiana Fever player and former Iowa player Caitlin Clark during WNBA All-Star Weekend: Don’t let outside noise take away the joy that got you here.
Obama encouraged Clark to stay grounded, keep having fun, and remember why she fell in love with the game—a reminder that resonated far beyond basketball.
His comments came amid a season of intense media scrutiny, controversy, and on-court incidents surrounding Clark.
