Caitlin Clark may be an elite athlete, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying a few cheat meals.
The Indiana Fever player, who stars in the new ESPN+ series Full Court Press, filmed the documentary during her senior year of college at the University of Iowa.
Producer Hannah Bier said she had a habit of buying Clark breakfast while they were filming together, and revealed one of Clark’s favorite 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 ice-cold macchiato with vanilla sweet cream cold foam from Starbucks.
The producer, who spent 28 days with Clark during 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.

“We had spoken over Zoom, but the first time I met Caitlin in person was around the team Christmas party we were filming for Episode 1,” Bier explained.
“She suggested her own ideas for the series about some things she was excited about in her life. For example, she suggested we go filming with her family on Christmas Day.”
At the 22-year-old’s suggestion, the crew joined her family at the Kansas City Chiefs game on December 25.
“That’s one of the most intimate ways to spend time with someone, because people want to switch off and not concentrate or think about work… That’s what ultimately led to the movie, and it was a great starting point for us to tell her family’s backstory,” Bier continued.

The series, which documents Clark’s life both on and off the field, shows the athlete getting advice from A-listers like Jason Sudeikis and grappling with Iowa’s championship loss to South Carolina.
“She was good at saying, ‘Hey, I only have ten minutes for you here, but we can do this,’” Bier recalled.
‘We had a really good dialogue throughout the year about what was important for us to capture and we also made sure we respected her boundaries and gave her a final year as a student. You only get this access if you build a huge amount of trust, and once we got to the tournament they almost forgot we were there, I think.”
Clark’s rise to popularity through college has carried over to the professional ranks, with the WNBA’s attention widely credited to her.
