Dominant rookie seasons that brought their teams into the spotlight. Not to forget, former Iowa HC Lisa Bluder also revealed that Clark, much like the NBA legend, needed to be taught to trust her teammates.

Moore dropped some powerful words that are sure to light a fire under the next wave of Hall of Famers, including rising stars like Caitlin Clark.
