Clark has taken Basketball world by a storm.

The Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is known for her skills on the basketball court, abilities that 99.9% of the world can only dream to replicate. This extraordinary talent is a result of hours devoted to practicing, away from public eye and audience. But, like all other great athletes, she also needs some priceless time off for relaxation and recharging. 

In an interview recently published on Nike's basketball Instagram page on February 23, Clark revealed an unexpected after-court hobby that may leave her fans amazed. 

Caitlin Clark's Unexpected Interest: Fortnite  
 

When asked, "What is something you are into that people wouldn't expect?" her answer left many with raised eyebrows- "Fortnite." Fortunate for the uninitiated: this is a popular battle royale game, supporting up to 100 players. They compete against all others to be the last person standing in a shrinking, cartoonish world. 

 

Clark continued her nose into the game by saying, "I used to play video games a good deal in college with friends especially over Christmas Break when you just have basketball and you're the only people on campus. We would practice, eat, and just game all day." 

 

But since moving from Iowa City into Indianapolis, Clark has said gaming time has gone down. "That's kind of stopped ever since I moved out of Iowa City and moved into Indianapolis. Haven't been playing on the game as much, but I'm starting to get back on the grind." 

 

 

Fun Connection with the fans 
Many of Clark's fans might be surprised to learn they lost to her in Fortnite somewhere along the line. Meanwhile, her love for gaming adds a human touch to her mega-star profile-that even one of basketball's brightest stars enjoys downtime like everyone else. 

This revelation by Clark brings into consideration how strenuous training schedules must not completely erase pastimes meant to give relaxation both mentally and physically. Whether taking those exquisite three-pointers or battling it out in Fortnite, Caitlin Clark only wins hearts on and off the court.
