This past season, college basketball phenom Caitlin Clark shattered records, showcasing the undeniable impact of what’s been coined the “Caitlin Clark effect.” This phenomenon isn’t just boosting ticket sales and revenue; it’s also sparking significant conversations about the role of women in sports.
In this episode, we sat down with Amber Zitzow, head coach of Saint Mary’s University of Minensota’s women’s volleyball team to talk about Clark’s success, athletics at Saint Mary’s, and the future of women’s sports. We also spoke with current student, Izzy Goettelman, about her experiences playing basketball for Saint Mary’s and how the “Clark effect” has influenced her journey.
