Caitlin Clark may be an athlete at the top of her game, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying a few cheat meals.
The Indiana Fever player, who is starring in the new ESPN+ series Full Court Press, filmed the documentary throughout her final year of college at the University of Iowa.
Producer Hannah Bier said she got in the habit of buying Clark breakfast while they were filming together, and divulged one of Clark’s go-to meals.
According to Athlon Sports, Bier said Clark’s order included a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich from a fast food restaurant like McDonald’s, along with an iced macchiato with vanilla sweet cream cold foam from Starbucks.
The producer, who spent 28 days with Clark throughout filming, told The Athletic that Clark’s star power had increased exponentially by the time they shot the final scenes in Indiana, after the Fever drafted her number one overall.

The athlete will star in the new ESPN+ series Full Court Press, which shows her rise to the pros
‘We had talked on Zoom, but the first time that I met Caitlin in person was right around the team Christmas party that we filmed for Episode 1,’ Bier explained.
‘She proposed her own ideas for the series regarding some things that she was excited about going on in her life. For instance, she suggested that we go film with her on Christmas Day with her family.’
Following the 22-year-old’s suggestion, the crew joined her family at the Kansas City Chiefs game on December 25.
‘That is one of the most intimate ways to spend time with someone because it’s when people want to turn off and not focus or think about work … That ultimately ended up making the film, and it was a great lead-off point for us to tell her family backstory,’ Bier continued.

The series, which documents Clark’s life both on and off the court, will show the athlete getting advice from A-listers like Jason Sudeikis, and grappling with Iowa’s championship loss to South Carolina.
‘She was good about being like, “Hey, I only have 10 minutes for you here, but we can do this,”‘ Bier recalled.
‘We had a really good dialog throughout the entire year about what was important to us to capture and also making sure we respected her boundaries and let her have a senior year as a college student. You don’t get this access unless you build an insane amount of trust, and once we got to the tournament, I think they almost forgot we were there.’
Clark’s rise in popularity through college has carried over to the pro ranks with an increase in attention to the WNBA widely attributed to her.
