Caitlin Clark

Clark is the first player to receive this award, established in 1930, twice.

Winners of this award include Mark Spitz (swimming), Eric Haydn (ice), Carl Lewis (track and field), and Michael Phelps (swimming).

Clark led the University of Iowa to second place in the National Collegiate Sports Association (NCAA) Women’s Basketball Division 1 tournament for two consecutive years.

She is reminiscent of American professional basketball (NBA) star Stephen Curry,

with her long-distance 3-point shooting and assist ability,

and she set the NCAA’s all-time scoring record.

She also created a stir throughout the United States, with her game against Iowa in this year’s NCAA tournament setting a record for the largest number of viewers ever.

Clark, who was recently selected by Indiana as the first overall pick in the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) draft,

is about to sign an eight-year contract worth $28 million (approximately 38.36 billion won) with global sports brand Nike.

The Associated Press reported that “Caitlin Clark has agreed to an eight-year,

$28 million contract with Nike that will even release her own basketball shoe named after him.”

It is known that in addition to Nike, global sports brands such as Adidas, Under Armor, and Puma are competing for a sponsorship contract with Clark ahead of her professional debut.

The WNBA salary level is relatively not high, and her rookie salary was set at $76,000.
