Caitlyn Clark's undeniable impact in women's basketball sparked a movement, often referred to as the "Caitlyn Clark Effect." This term signifies a broader trend where women's sports are gaining unprecedented visibility and importance. Clark's journey through college and into the professional WNBA circuit has not only drawn significant media attention but also record-setting viewership for women's basketball games. The success of women’s sports extends beyond basketball, with growing leagues in soccer, hockey, and volleyball, leading to substantial financial investment and potential for long-term development. The critical task moving forward is to maintain this momentum and ensure that women’s sports are not relegated to a fleeting trend.
