TIME Athlete of the Year Caitlin Clark shared her excitement for the future of the WNBA—and women’s sports as a whole—during a conversation with NBC sports producer and broadcaster Maria Taylor at the “A Year in TIME” event in New York on Dec. 11. Coinciding with the release of TIME’s Person of the Year issue, the event also included a performance from TIME’s Icon of the Year, Elton John and a conversation with TIME’s CEO of the Year, Lisa Su. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] From finishing up her final year in college at the University of Iowa (where she set multiple NCAA Division 1 records), to completing her first season with the Indiana Fever as WNBA Rookie of the Year, Clark admitted that it has been a whirlwind of a year for her, especially at just age 22. Though she admitted it’s “hard to wrap my head around” the spotlight at times, Clark shared that she takes the responsibility of being a performer and role model for young people very seriously, and she believes this kind of attention is going to become more normal for women’s sports players more broadly. “It’s special to see those young girls and those young boys that bring signs or are with their mom or dad … That’s a memory that they’re going to share forever,” Clark said.
