Former lowa Hawkeyes stars Kate Martin and Caitlin Clark have spent considerable time together on the court to know each other’s strengths. Martin was known as an effective leader and guiding force for the Hawkeyes but Clark elevated the team’s competitive spirit to a different level.
“Whenever Caitlin’s on the court, she’s making every single player better. You need that.”
She then went on to say that a team requires a player who can inspire the other members. Kate then briefly joked that she is losing her voice as her teammates might be getting bored of listening to her. But she continued.
“Whenever she’s on the court, the level of competition just rises.”
The NCAA’s all-time leading scorer positively affected the team, bringing out the best in each one of them.
