Caitlin Clark had a phenomenal rookie season, earning her place in the history books. As she prepares for her second campaign, fans and analysts are eager to see how much further she can improve her game.

Keith Porter, the Indiana Fever’s player development coach, revealed what can be expected from the star guard during an appearance on the Courtside Club podcast. While Porter didn’t disclose specific areas where Clark has improved, he stated his aspirations for her, which is to dominate the league.

“My goals for Caitlin, I just want her to destroy everything. I wanna give her the extra tools where now, the way teams used to play her you can’t do that anymore. You’re you can’t force her to take these shots.”

“I want her to just feel super comfortable in every scenario every coverage, whatever it is and just destroy teams, right? You know, the goal is ultimately a championship,” Porter said.

The veteran coach didn’t dive into details. But he made it clear that the Fever star has been dedicating significant time to the weight room. Judging by Clark’s recent photos, the soon-to-be 23-year-old has noticeably gained muscle.

Indy fans will be hopeful that her dedication in the gym will translate into increased scoring output, that eventually boosts her chances of securing the MVP award.
