Caitlin Clark shares humble admission about personal life: 'I don't think people always realize that' image

Caitlin Clark has a lot going on, but she's not too busy to take care of business.

While speaking to ESPN host Laura Rutledge during the Master's Tournament, Clark admitted that despite her WNBA fame, she's still a pretty normal person.

"I still go to the grocery store, I still buy my own groceries, I still do all of that," she said. "And I don't think people always realize that."

But that doesn't mean she's completely comfortable where she's at. In fact, Clark made it clear that she hopes to continue to grow in as many ways as possible. "I always had big dreams and big aspirations," she continued. "I always wanted to be a professional athlete. I don't think I could have ever imagined it to be on the level that it is, and to see where women's sports is going, is absolutely incredible."

There's also one aspect of the current furor surrounding women's basketball that she especially enjoys: "The amount of people that have never watched women's basketball before, and now really enjoy it is the coolest part. But I don't think you ever get used to that, by any means."

Clark also shared that she took tennis lessons as a kid because she idolized Serena Williams so much — but, unfortunately, "my tennis career was short-lived."

"I got kicked out of tennis class when I was 10, so that didn't last long. I got mad at the instructor, because I thought it was too easy, and then he…that's a different story. But I love Serena Williams," she admitted.
