Caitlin Clark will be playing her second WNBA season under a new head coach following the departure of Christie Sides.
The Indiana Fever opted to make a change at head coach during the offseason despite reaching the playoffs, bringing Stephanie White back in the hopes of getting the best out of the squad.
White, the 2023 WNBA Coach of the Year, played for the Fever and worked as both an assistant coach and head coach in Indiana before leaving for Vanderbilt and returning to the pros to take charge of the Connecticut Sun.
The former Purdue star reckons Clark and the rest of the team have what it takes to win multiple Championships. And she knows exactly what the Rookie of the Year has to do to make it a reality.
“She’s a great player, she’s a high IQ player, she’s adjusted really quickly to this league, and now it’s about becoming not just a great player, but becoming a great leader for this team,” White said on ‘The Coaching U Podcast,’ “So that we can win not just a championship, but championships.”
Stephanie White Has A Plan For Caitlin Clark
Sides was criticized throughout last season for her handling of Clark. While the Fever made it to the playoffs for the first time in eight years, they decided it was best to part ways.
White, meanwhile, was brought in on November 1 and is getting to know the squad.
She’s particularly keen on giving the Fever the most effective version of Clark.
“My first conversation with her about X’s and O’s the other day, I was just like, “How do you want to improve? What are some of the things you want to improve on?” And then we’ll talk about how we want to do that,” she added. “I talked to her about how we can use her to help her be more efficient, help her be more effective, to help our team be better in general.”
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
