""Disappointed isn't a big enough word to describe how I'm feeling," Clark wrote on Instagram. Clark then said the following: "This has been incredibly frustrating, but even in the bad, there is good. The way the fans continued to show up for me, and for the Fever, brought me so much joy and important perspective. I am so proud of how this team has only gotten stronger through adversity this year.""
"According to the American Psychological Association, to reframe is to reconceptualize a problem by seeing it from a different perspective. "Altering the conceptual or emotional context of a problem often serves to alter perceptions of the problem's difficulty and to open up possibilities for solving it," says the APA. Reframing is valuable because everyone suffers setbacks, sometimes significant ones. When you do, it's easy to get caught in a flurry of negative thoughts and emotions."
Caitlin Clark will not return to play this season after suffering a groin injury nearly two months ago, shortly before the WNBA All Star Game. She spent hours in the gym attempting to recover but ultimately decided to step back for the season. Clark expressed deep disappointment while highlighting fan support and the Fever's strengthened team resilience. She used the phrase "Even in the bad, there is good" as an example of cognitive reframing. Reframing involves reconceptualizing a problem to change perceptions, reduce negative thought spirals, and open possibilities for coping and forward progress.
