Barack Obama surprised WNBA players and coaches at All-Star practice Friday morning, which was held at his newly opened Obama Presidential Center on the south side of Chicago (of course). Obama spoke for a few minutes, took a group photo, and then met with many of the players.

Including Caitlin Clark. He's someone who can relate to what she deals with on a daily basis. So he shared a powerful message with her. Then, Clark discussed that moment.
