Summary
We're hours away from what could be the biggest WNBA All-Star Game in the league's history thanks in large part to rookie Caitlin Clark. Today, we're taking a deep dive into the so-called "Caitlin Clark Effect." Plus, can a single player's success have a lasting impact on women's sports overall?
I'm joined by leading scholar Dr. Nicole M. Lavoi. She's the director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sport at the University of Minnesota, teaches social and behavioral sciences, and she's an award-winning athlete and coach.
