About this listen

A news-making and electrifying portrait of sports phenomenon Caitlin Clark, whose dramatic ascendance in college basketball and now in the WNBA has captured the attention of media and fans unlike any other female team-sport athlete in history—by award-winning USA TODAY columnist and television commentator Christine Brennan.

America has never seen an athlete quite like Caitlin Clark. Attracting record-shattering attendance and TV ratings, she has riveted the nation with her famous logo threes and thrilling passes and changed how fans across the country view women’s sports. Drawing on dozens of extensive interviews and exclusive, behind-the-scenes reporting, veteran journalist Christine Brennan narrates Clark’s rise—including the formative experiences that led to her scoring more points than any woman or man in major college basketball history—and delivers fascinating new details about Clark’s Olympic snub by USA Basketball, the safety concerns around her that led to charter flights for all players, the WNBA’s lack of preparation for heightened national scrutiny, and troubling outbreaks of jealousy and resentment as a white player became the top story in a predominantly Black league.

The 2024 season was a watershed. Always taking the high road in the face of criticism, Clark proceeded to write herself into WNBA record books as one of the league’s most talented rookies ever. And her winning persona—on full display whether surrounded by children begging for autographs or reporters hanging on her every word—made Clark such a fan favorite that increasingly larger arenas needed to be found to accommodate the hordes who traveled hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of miles to watch her play.

Clark arrived as a sports and cultural icon a little more than fifty years after the passage of Title IX, the 1972 law that opened the floodgates for girls and women to play sports in America. On Her Game is a sports story, certainly, but it’s also the story of a nation falling in love with what it has created because of that law—millions of new athletes, led by the magical Caitlin Clark.

If you’re a hardcore CC fan like myself, it feels like a review more than anything insightful. However, it’s still great to have as a sports enthusiast because it does provide more insight of the year 2024 and what she went through and giving more clarity why the WNBA players are they way they are. It’s a deeper history why jealousy and racism runs rampant in the league. Also, shows how graceful Caitlin Clark is as a person, Well written and researched by Christine Brennan.

It’s a great book for those who don’t know Caitlin Clark

To understand how badly the WNBA and its players whiffed on Caitin Clark just flip the races. Imagine the same popularity and college career but Clark is black and also gay BUT entering a 74% white, mostly straight league and treated the same way. Dissed, belittled with multiple cheap shots.

Most players and sports media would call those white players RACISTS.

No more petty, jealous unprofessional "professional sports league" on the planet.

Will the WNBA change? Unless the NBA forces those necessary changes - doubtful.

This book is a microcosm of post 2020 America. Most who don't like this book (haven't read it) imply or call Brennan - RACIST.

That's the playbook.


Christine Brennan is the ONLY honest journalist covering the WNBA.

As a Caitlin fan, I couldn’t wait to read this book. I was not disappointed. I found it to be very accurate and insightful. It exposes the obvious problems with the WNBA league. The women basketball players are portrayed in the amateur fashion they have behaved. Thank you Christine Brennan!

Christine Brennan is one of the best sports reporter of her time. Smart, straightforward, fair. This book brings to light the litany of bright spots and mistakes made during the rise of Caitlin Clark. The story is told clearly and fairly with the receipts to back it up. The WNBA clearly wasn’t ready for the spotlight Caitlin would bring.

As an aside, I usually cringe when I see the author is narrating their own book. I think this usually should be left to a voice actor. Christine Brennan is a pleasant exception as she handles narrating very well.

Great book to listen to enjoyed it very much. However, what’s up with so much time talking about a guy who happens to play in the WNBA Ryan Grinner, oops mean Brittany Grinner

Fantastic reporting.

As a new WBB fan, I fell in love with Clark’s game when I saw her beat SC in 2023. Spontaneously, my friend (a former Iowa athlete) and I flew to Dallas and saw her team fall to LSU. Now best friends, we cheered her on when she overtook Plum’s record —and then Pistol Pete’s record. And of course we watched on TV as one of the millions as SC beat Iowa in the 2024 finals.

This book had all of the feels for me and was a beautifully written (and substantiated) book on the inception of Title 9 and how the first female athletic director influenced women’s sports, the rise of Clark at Iowa, and then Clark’s reception by the WNBA. I was particularly pleased on your descriptions of how Wheeler and Boston developed relationships with Clark.

My only question is…what is the follow up to this book? This hardly feels like a fitting end to this journalistic endeavor.

5 Stars – A Powerful and Honest Retelling of a Pivotal Season

Christine Brennan delivers a compelling, honest, and deeply engaging account of a season that reshaped the WNBA forever. This book is more than a chronicle of Caitlin Clark’s rise, it’s a front-row seat to the moment the sport finally caught the world’s attention in a new and undeniable way.

I appreciate when someone tells the story as it truly happened, no spin, no distortion, just a clear-eyed assessment of the events and emotions that defined this transformative year. As a fan, I’ve followed generational talents my whole life - Jordan, Bird, Magic, and Caitlin Clark fits right into that rare category. Her presence ignited a wave of excitement that transcended gender or league boundaries.

Sadly, the WNBA seemed unprepared for the spotlight she brought. While Clark elevated the league, others fumbled the moment. Brennan doesn’t shy away from calling this out. It’s refreshing to read a book that honors the impact of a once-in-a-generation athlete while also acknowledging the complexities and missteps along the way.

This isn’t about politics or identity. It’s about greatness. Pure, raw, undeniable greatness. And this book captures it beautifully. Thank you, Christine Brennan, for writing the honest recap fans like me needed. A must-read and a powerful listen.

Honesty

a nice pullback of the curtain to have presented to us what are eyes have been screaming. The W is pathetically run, horribly organized, and literally has no clue what its doing. They allow..just god awful officiating continue...allow Caitlan to be treated with disrespect and racism...The olympic snub will be "jordan cut as a freshman" level mockery forever. the book exposes the collusion to keep the white-straight girl off the marketing train...another great call commish... short story long...this book has exposed a league.. void of leadership and understanding...but instead if rectifying their bullsh!t..they double down and expect the white girl...the millions of new fever fans..and the media...to shut up and dribble...

thank you for allowing the FEVER FANS... to be validated in how not only CC is treated...but us too.
