At 22 years old, Caitlin Clark is making waves in the WNBA with the Indiana Fever. From a young age, Clark showed signs of her immense talent and already had a great sense of humor, which she still demonstrates today.
A reflection of this is a tweet Caitlin posted 8 years ago that is now getting attention on social media.
At that time, it seemed like a random joke from a 14-year-old, but it conveyed her relentless winning mentality. This message is a testament to what Caitlin Clark has become and why she has achieved so much in such a short time.

“Ponytail Pete,” as she’s called, was crucial in helping the Fever secure their playoff berth after defeating the Los Angeles Sparks 93-86. Caitlin comes from the Iowa Hawkeyes, where she played 139 games. In her final season, she averaged 33.4 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists per game.
The first of many
Caitlin continues to break records in her rookie season in the WNBA. In her debut on May 14 this year against the Connecticut Sun, she scored 20 points, had three assists, and caused ten turnovers.
In July, when she faced the New York Liberty, Clark registered a triple-double with 19 points, 13 assists, and 12 rebounds, something never before achieved by a rookie in the WNBA.
A few days later, in a game against the Dallas Wings, she set the record for the most assists in a single game with 19.
Clark is a social media sensation
With less than a year in the WNBA, Caitlin has over 2.9 million followers on Instagram, 477.9 thousand on TikTok, and 453,000 on X. Clark was part of the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game against Team USA.
