The Indiana Fever released footage of Caitlin Clark's offseason training, highlighting her work on ball handling and finishing through contact. Clark's training appears focused on tightening her ball handling to navigate defensive pressure and create her own space on the court.
That's because the franchise first released a short video of Clark back in the lab, one that has garnered nearly 2 million views. After the initial drop of Clark working out with new coach Stephanie White, the Fever released a longer more unedited version, which featured 13 minutes of Clark training during the offseason. But beyond the excitement of simply seeing her on the court again, there appear to be specific areas of focus for Caitlin in working to improve her game.
There appears to be a clear emphasis on tightening up Clark's ball handling. She is seen doing drills that feature her keeping her dribble tight and low to the floor. Clark will need to be able to navigate small areas given the attention she receives and the Fever training staff seems more than aware of this fact. Kyrie Irving has received tons of praise for his handles over the years and that is one of the reasons he is amongst the best the sport has ever seen at operating 'within an elevator'. Clark did lead the WNBA in turnovers a season ago, so keeping the ball more secure makes a lot of sense as a specific area of improvement. Again, it's no secret that Clark is at the top of every opposing team's scouting report. This leads to seeing more bodies and dealing with physical resistance. Clark can be seen doing balance work and shooting from various angles on the floor. In one instance, she is seen doing a drill that has been utilized by NBA stars, with fans pointing out Kevin Durant using similar methods. Creating her own space and finishing through contact will be paramount for Clark going forward. Caitlin was doing the Kevin Durant off balance shot workout in her practice session. This strengthens your core and hips which helps stabilize your body when you're shooting. This is related to off-balanced finishing, but Clark's best moves in her WNBA rookie season involved fading to the left for a three or driving strong to the right
