Caitlin Clark Draws Attention After Iowa Move
Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark continues to make a difference beyond the basketball court.

Clark had a historic 2026 campaign with the Fever, during which she became the first player ever to finish a season in the top three in both scoring and assists. She averaged 22.3 points and 8.3 assists in 40 games played.

The Fever made the playoffs after finishing sixth in the standings with a 28-16 record. However, they failed to go the distance in the postseason, losing in the first round.

Ever since the Fever’s playoff run ended, Clark has focused on her off-court commitments. She has largely been doing promotional work for her Caitlin 1 shoes and her recently released children’s book titled “EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams.”

Aside from several media appearances, Clark also recently served as a guest speaker at the NXT515 conference held at her hometown of Des Moines, Iowa, on Tuesday.

On its website, NXT515 described the event as a one-day leadership conference “designed to ignite inspiration, expand your network and arm you with the tool to take the next step.” It also stated that the conference was built for “high-potential, high-performing women,” as well as managers, executives and teammates.

Aside from Clark, the event featured several speakers, including sports agent Molly Fletcher, former Secret Service special agent and interrogator Evy Poumpouras, author Greg Offner and business leaders Seema Shah, Trina Flack, Dan Culhane and Joe Schmidtlein, among others.

The Dowling Catholic Maroon Crew shared a post on social media featuring several photos of Clark at the event. For what it’s worth, Clark is an alumna of Dowling Catholic High School.

The post drew plenty of reactions, with many showing love to Clark and expressing excitement over her latest move.

“Genuine legend CC,” a commenter wrote. Another one said, “Omg my girl Caitlin Clark.”

“That’s our girl,” a fan added.

A supporter shared, “This is nice.”

“This is wonderful!” a poster added.

It remains to be seen what’s next for Clark, but it certainly has been a hectic offseason for her.
