WNBA - English
While most rookies might bask in their breakout season with some much-needed rest, Caitlin Clark did the opposite, just not in the way you’d expect. After a historic NCAA run and an explosive rookie year with the Indiana Fever, Clark passed on a million-dollar opportunity with equity and revenue sharing in the Unrivaled league. Why? She simply needed a break from competitive basketball. Instead of high-pressure courts, Clark spent her offseason at LPGA pro-am tournaments, cheered at NFL games, and still managed to show up consistently for her WNBA obligations.
“She always showed up,” said Fever GM Amber Cox, who was continually stunned by Clark’s dedication despite her jam-packed schedule. Even the team’s athletic coach, Sarah Kessler, noted Clark never skipped workouts, even when given the option to rest.

Work ethic beyond her years
Most rookies in the WNBA take a couple of seasons to adapt. Not Clark. “She’s far beyond her years in terms of her understanding of how to work,” said Fever coach Stephanie White. Her teammates and coaching staff have all echoed the same sentiment, Caitlin is no ordinary rookie. From spending hours at the gym to working on long-range shots, Clark’s preparation never took a backseat. Even when managing a minor leg injury before the season, she remained actively involved on the court.

And it shows. Her improved strength and shot precision have been on full display in the preseason. Though the Fever are easing her into full playtime, Clark has already become a problem for opposing defenses, even at less than 100%.
“Caitlin from downtown” makes her radio debut
In a surprise twist, Clark recently called into local sports radio 107.5 The Fan after attending a Pacers game, using the alias “Caitlin from downtown.” Her analysis? Sharp as ever. “It was just one of those nights where you literally could not miss,” she said. Fans quickly recognized her voice, and her signature deep-shot reference gave her away.
The nickname quickly caught fire online and perfectly fits the star guard known for her three-point shooting. As Clark and the Fever prepare to open the season on May 17 against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky, one thing’s for sure: “Caitlin from downtown” is just getting started.

Reprezentace se fotila, Kondelík se loučil. Zraněný Kundrátek trénuje bez úlev
Herning (Od našich zpravodajů) - Do tréninkové haly opět dorazili autobusem a už v plné zbroji. Při výstupu na hokejisty čekalo trio českých fanoušků v dresech Pastrňáka a Krejčího a právě s největší reprezentační hvězdou se rovněž vyfotili, stejně jako s vysokým útočníkem Adamem Klapkou, jehož vedení týmu v úterý večer dopsalo na soupisku.Pak následovalo společné focení, které organizoval manažer týmu Milan Hnilička. Toho se zúčastnil i Jáchym Kondelík, po jeho konci však z ledu zmizel, na střídačce se objal a rozloučil s kustody a zřejmě už dnes zamíří do Česka, kde má podstoupit operaci.Naopak Tomáš Kundrátek, který si rovněž ze zápasu s Norskem odnesl zranění a proti Dánsku nehrál, na ledě zůstal a trénuje. U něho je tedy situace mnohem pozitivnější.Trénink bude trvat zhruba do 15.45 h. Po něm se hráči i trenéři opět přesunou do hlavní haly, kde prozradí více o plánech s náhradou za Kondelíka.

Felipe Melo indica atacante para Ancelotti na seleção brasileira: “Eu convocaria”
Carlo Ancelotti é o novo téncico da seleção brasileira A pré-lista para a primeira convocação da era Carlo Ancelotti na seleção brasileira será divulgada no próximo domingo, visando os jogos contra Equador e Paraguai, nas Eliminatórias. Felipe Melo, que já vestiu a camisa verde e amarela, alega que chamaria Endrick. Nesta relação, possivelmente Rodrygo e Vinicius Júnior, que trabalham com o italiano no Real Madrid, deverão constar. Fica a expectativa em relação ao ex-atacante do Palmeiras, que tem tido baixa minutagem no clube espanhol. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O Endrick é uma incógnita, eu tenho curiosidade.
