Caitlin Clark believes that women’s sports have a bright future after Iowa’s NCAA basketball loss.

Los Angeles – As Caitlin Clark gets ready to enter the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) professional ranks, she feels that the excitement surrounding her historic college basketball career portends a bright future for women’s sport in the United States.

The Iowa phenomenon concluded his career in collegiate athletics on April 7 in the national championship game in Cleveland, losing to South Carolina 87-75.

But Clark was able to find some consolation in the loss following her

Whatever sport it is, if you have the same level of faith in and commitment to them, things will succeed, the speaker stated. It’s evident in other sports. I believe that what will propel women’s sports in the future is to keep providing those people with opportunities and time, money, and resources.

Clark said she would always be grateful that Iowa had introduced the sport to new generations of fans.

People will cherish the times they spent together at one of our games or while watching on TV, as well as how thrilled their son or daughter was to see women’s basketball, according to Clark.

“Those are the things that mean the most to me, so that’s pretty cool.”

Leading the scoring with 30 points in the championship game, Clark acknowledged she anticipated crying as she came to terms with losing in the national championship game for the second time in a row.

I don’t have much time to sit around and mope around and be upset, so I think the emotions will hit me over the next few days, Clark said. Furthermore, I don’t believe that to be what I stand for.

Yes, I’m disappointed that we didn’t win this game, but I’m also really proud of my teammates and our team. There is much to be grateful for.

However, there will be tears. I regret that this is all over and that this is my final Iowa jersey wear.

Among Clark’s accomplishments this season was breaking Pete Mara Rich’s record for the most points scored in college basketball—a record that many believed to be unbreakable.

She is almost a lock to be selected by the Indiana Fever with the first overall pick in the WNBA draft in April. She may also be selected to play for the United States in the Olympics in Paris. AFP
