On her game : Caitlin Clark and the revolution in women's sports / Christine Brennan.

Brennan, Christine, (author.).

Summary:

"America has never seen an athlete quite like Caitlin Clark. Attracting record-shattering attendance and TV ratings, she has riveted the nation with her famous logo threes and thrilling passes and changed how fans across the country view women's sports. Drawing on dozens of extensive interviews and exclusive, behind-the-scenes reporting, veteran journalist Christine Brennan narrates Clark's rise -- including the formative experiences that led to her scoring more points than any woman or man in major college basketball history -- and delivers fascinating new details about Clark's Olympic snub by USA Basketball, the safety concerns around her that led to charter flights for all players, the WNBA's lack of preparation for heightened national scrutiny, and troubling outbreaks of jealousy and resentment as a white player became the top story in a predominantly Black league. The 2024 season was a watershed. Always taking the high road in the face of criticism, Clark proceeded to write herself into WNBA record books as one of the league's most talented rookies ever. And her winning persona -- on full display whether surrounded by children begging for autographs or reporters hanging on her every word -- made Clark such a fan favorite that increasingly larger arenas needed to be found to accommodate the hordes who traveled hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of miles to watch her play. Clark arrived as a sports and cultural icon a little more than fifty years after the passage of Title IX, the 1972 law that opened the floodgates for girls and women to play sports in America. On Her Game is a sports story, certainly, but it's also the story of a nation falling in love with what it has created because of that law -- millions of new athletes, led by the magical Caitlin Clark"-- Provided by publisher.
