WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark isn’t content with just being a basketball legend—she’s adding golf to the list of skills. Clark, 22, shared pictures of herself wearing black pants and a blue sweatshirt, hitting the green with golf pros Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam. “Fun day surrounded by two of the best to ever do it ⛳️📍The ANNIKA driven by @gainbridgesport,” she captioned the post. “What can’t you do?” commented teammate Aliyah A. Boston. Here’s how the Indiana Fever star stays fit, strong, and focused.
1. Strength Training
Clark put on eight pounds of muscle after working with strength and conditioning coach Lindsay Alexander in 2022/23. "Obviously she's a one-of-a-kind basketball player, but the thing is, she's not a one-of-a-kind person in the weight room," Alexander previously told Business Insider. "She has this very high skill set in basketball, but her physical development could really be improved."
2. Holistic Health and Wellness

Alexander made sure Clark employed a holistic approach to her training and wellness. "You can have the best training and the best basketball coach and all these things, but if you're not sleeping and taking care of your body appropriately, then it doesn't really matter," Alexander said. "[Clark] takes ownership of her sleep… and pretty good on the nutrition front. I think that has helped her really get to see the success from her training, because she's doing the other things as well."
3. Comfy Style
Clark has a specific style she feels comfortable in. “Usually I wear sweatpants and sweatshirts all the time,” she told Women’s Wear Daily. “I’m busy, I play basketball. But other than that, I feel like I’m very simple. I like simple things. I feel like I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone a little bit [now]. I mean, I’m definitely gonna show up in a Nike Tech fleece here and there.”
4. Record-Breaking Season
Clark had a record-breaking rookie season with the WNBA, and is still amazed at how far she’s come. "I think it's something that I'll always remember, like, coming into this league," she told CBS News. “A lot of these players are who I grew up watching on TV and wanting to be like, and now I get to play against them.”
5. Big City Dreams
Clark grew up in Des Moines, so Indianapolis feels like a big city to her. “I feel like Indianapolis is like such a good spot for myself,” she told Women’s Wear Daily. “It’s a basketball state — they love basketball through and through, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, but also I think the Fever is a first-class organization that is really trying to get back to their championship ways, and they’re gonna invest. So for myself, I can’t imagine a more perfect place to start my career. And obviously in the Midwest, I have a lot of fans. I can’t really script it any better.”
