“No Days Off”: Despite Summer Break, 21 YO NCAA Star’s Intense Workout Amazes Former NBA MVP

One of the key qualities exhibited by accomplished basketball players is their ability to overcome setbacks. They refuse to allow failures to shape their identity. They define their legacy by demonstrating resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Drawing parallels to this winning mentality, a former Most Valuable Player has identified a similar trait. He found it in a young NCAA star who is vigorously working out during the summer break.

The unwavering commitment displayed by this 21-year-old athlete has deeply impressed the basketball legend. Her grind leads him to share her workout video on his social media platform. Which promising NCAA athlete are we talking about?

A young NCAA player impresses a former NBA MVP and champion

Within the realm of NBA basketball, a few players possess a unique psychological makeup that drives them to dominate their opponents. These individuals, who fearlessly confront any challenge, harbor an unparalleled hunger for success. Their resilience enables them to rebound from setbacks with even greater force. One distinguished example of such a player is none other than NBA legend Kevin Garnett.

Also known as the Big Ticket, Garnett was known for his intensity, defensive ability and versatility on the court. He is one of the only 5 NBA players to win both league MVP and the Defensive Player of the Year award. Garnett was also a great trash talker who often got under his rivals’ skin.

The 2004 NBA MVP played a crucial role in the Boston Celtics‘ 2008 championship. Garnett respects the hard-working basketball talents and promotes them through his social media account. Through his latest Instagram story, he appreciated the work ethic of NCAA star Caitlin Clark.

Garnett’s Instagram story highlighted Clark’s workout video, showcasing her exceptional work ethic. Unlike many basketball players who take breaks or go on vacations during the summer, Clark has been wholeheartedly dedicated to rigorous training sessions. She has been focusing on improving her shooting skills and overall fitness, as demonstrated in the video where she engages in running drills and refines her ball-handling abilities.

Notably, Clark’s workout routine includes an impressive series of 100 successful 3-point shots, 100 mid-range shots and 100 free-throw baskets. Garnett expressed his admiration for her efforts and captioned his story, “She’s in the gym… No days off. # Summertime vibes.” Clark’s intense training follows her recent defeat in the NCAA finals. Who was the opponent she lost to in that match?

In April the LSU Tigers emerged victorious over the Iowa Hawkeyes in the NCAA women’s college basketball national championship. During the intense match, Clarke found herself engaged in some taunt-like exchanges with LSU’s standout player, Angel Reese. Reese taunted Clark using the ‘You can’t see me’ gesture, a move that Clark herself had employed frequently against her opponents throughout the tournament.

Reese further taunted the Hawkeyes guard with a ‘Where’s my ring’ gesture. Despite her impressive season averages of 27.8 points per game, 7.1 rebounds per game and 8.6 assists, Clark’s team fell short of winning the NCAA championship. However, this setback has only intensified her determination to work even harder in preparation for the upcoming season.
