Speaking to reporters on the series’ premiere, Caitlin Clark revealed the reason why she agreed to be part of the documentary during her record-breaking final college basketball season.
“One ne of the main reasons I wanted to participate and do this is because I knew going into this, whether it was going to be my last year or not in college, I hadn’t decided, but being able to capture all this,” Clark said. “It was a special time and getting to enjoy that not only for myself, but for the other two and their teams, and my team and my coaches.”
