Ahead of the start of the season, Clark told reporters that she was spending her downtime getting “stronger” so that she could play her best during her sophomore season.
“That was my biggest focus in the offseason, just trying to get stronger and really working on that,” she told reporters after a practice, according to The Indianapolis Star.
“And [I’m] really thankful to Sarah, our strength and conditioning coach, putting in a lot of time with me, and we were in here consistently,” Clark continued.
She added, “I think that was the biggest thing for myself, is just having that consistency, to be able to work on it for six months, or whatever it was. So I certainly feel a lot stronger.”
