New York Times Bestseller! An electrifying portrait of sports phenomenon Caitlin Clark, whose record-breaking rise from NCAA women’s basketball to the WNBA has captivated the nation—by award-winning journalist Christine Brennan, one of the most respected voices in women’s sports.

America has never seen an athlete like Caitlin Clark. With her famous logo threes, viral highlights, and massive fan following, she has redefined women’s basketball and inspired a generation of fans. In On Her Game, Brennan delivers an intimate and deeply reported Caitlin Clark biography, drawn from dozens of interviews and behind-the-scenes access.

Tracing her journey from the University of Iowa to the Indiana Fever, Brennan explores Clark’s formative years, her record-setting college career—where she scored more points than any woman or man in major college basketball history—and her controversial Olympic snub by USA Basketball. Along the way, Brennan covers key moments shaping the landscape: charter flights for WNBA players amid security concerns, national media pressure, and the tensions Clark’s success stirred in a league still reckoning with issues of race, equity, and visibility.

The 2024 WNBA season was a turning point. One of the league’s most talented rookies, Clark packed arenas coast to coast, signing autographs for girls, speaking with poise under pressure, and igniting a new era of attention for women athletes. Her arrival has drawn comparisons to sports legends like Serena Williams, Sue Bird, and Diana Taurasi—but Clark is writing her own chapter.

Coming just over fifty years after Title IX, On Her Game is more than a sports biography. It’s a celebration of female athlete role models, a look at the GOAT debate in women’s basketball, and an inspiring story about how one woman changed the game—and how a country fell in love with her.

Commentaires

"Women’s sports are experiencing increasing popularity, and author/narrator Christine Brennan posits that much of it has to do with the rise of basketball phenom Caitlin Clark. Brennan’s clear, sometimes adulatory, prose is matched by her resonant tones and energetic cadence. Brennan recounts Clark’s journey from the NCAA playoffs through her rookie year with the Indiana Pacers. Not dwelling on Clark’s occasional hubris—“I don’t want anyone to be better than me”—Brennan stresses Clark’s confidence and thoughtfulness. Brennan doesn’t shy away from the fact that Clark is white and many WNBA players are Black, Clark’s unprecedented rocket to fame is related to perceptions of her whiteness. Brennan’s approachable sportscaster-like style enhances these observations of a new era in women’s sports."
