The WNBA 2024 season has just begun, but Christie has already faced “tons of criticism” from fans. This is due to the double pressure she faces as her coaching career is intertwined with the rookie’s.

On one hand, Christie is under pressure to prove her ability to lead the Indiana Fever to victory. After two consecutive seasons of failing to make the playoffs, she is facing calls for her job.

On the other hand, Christie is also under pressure to help Caitlin Clark, the Fever’s highly touted rookie, succeed. Clark is considered the team’s future star, and her performance will reflect on Christie’s coaching.

The pressure on Christie has been amplified by the Fever’s slow start to the season. They have lost their first two games, and the fans are already calling for changes.

If Clark also struggles, the pressure on Christie will only intensify. Some fans are already speculating that Clark may be a bust, and if that happens, Christie will be the one to take the blame.

Christie is aware of the pressure she is facing, but she is confident that she can handle it. She has a proven track record as a coach, and she is confident that she can help Clark reach her full potential.

However, the pressure is real, and it could take a toll on Christie and Clark if they are not careful. They will need to learn to manage their expectations and stay focused on the task at hand.

Only time will tell how Christie and Clark will handle the pressure. But one thing is for sure: the stakes are high for both of them.
