Fans had mixed feelings about the Indiana Fever’s 2025 season. Even though the side surpassed all the expectations without Caitlin Clark, fans wished to see the former Iowa star on the floor, which would have helped the side lift the title, given the rest of the team’s output on the floor.
Without playing a single playoff game, Clark still held three unique postseason records, which indicates her impact on the team and game. While this impact would likely be further amplified as the NBA’s top trainer, Chris Brickley, expressed a desire to work with the Fever guard in the offseason. Fans were excited to hear the news.
Fans React to Chris Brickley’s Desire To Work With Caitlin Clark
Even at the peak of his career, LeBron James stayed professional and took lessons from Chris Brickley during the NBA’s offseason. Kevin Durant, one of the purest scorers in the league, also perfected his game with help from the 37-year-old trainer. While other renowned names like Trae Young, Paolo Bencharo, and other young stars take guidance from Chris Brickley, he expressed a desire to work with WNBA star Caitlin Clark.
In a recent interview, Brickley opened up about the idea, recalling the 2024 offseason when his training session with the Fever guard was canceled after the parties could not agree on a venue. But a season later, Brickley is still open to training the two-time All-Star, as he said, “This offseason, I’m hoping that she’ll come to New York and we’ll get some work in.”

The five words were enough to cheer the Clark fan base, who tagged the player in their comments and asked her to proceed with the plan.

Even though there is no confirmation from the Indiana Fever or Clark’s camp, the player is currently working on her fitness and is also looking ahead to being part of the US national team.
Chris Brickley Declares Caitlin Clark The Biggest Name In WNBA
This is not the first time Brickley has worked with a women’s basketball star, as he trained Paige Bueckers and Azi Fudd in 2023 when the duo was playing for the UConn program. They won a championship in 2025 with PB and Fudd shining brightest on the NCAA stage, which highlights the impact of Brickley’s training. But the famed trainer called CC the ‘game changer’ in the WNBA.
“Man, she’s the reason why the WNBA has become so big. I’d love to work with her…and I love her competitiveness,” said Brickley in the same interview.
While the Indiana Fever Coach Stephanie White calls Clark ‘Taylor Swift 2.0‘ over her growing popularity, the Indiana Fever might consider taking his help as they try to rebuild the team for the 2026 season around the playmaker.
