I watched the first half of the Iowa vs UConn Women’s Final Four last night. I had to watch these highlights to know more about how the game ended. Worth a watch if you like tight basketball thrillers. I tuned in because a co-worker told me about the game and how good it was going to be. She was right.
I wanted to check out Caitlin Clark. I love watching how the best athletes approach their craft. She taught me two things watching her compete in the first half and these highlights.
She was focused last night. She showed some frustration in the first half cause they were losing and she didn’t have a great start but through the whole game you could see it on her face and with the plays she was making. She was locked in. There’s a lot of value in bringing focus to your craft.
The second thing I learned is confidence through the highs and lows, especially when things aren’t going your way. She had a pretty rough first half. Something like 0/5 from three pointer or maybe she made one. Also a few turnovers. She could have lost confidence and stopped shooting the ball. She kept shooting. Eventually her shots dropped. She didn’t let the cold start rock her confidence. I love that.
