A book recommendation...from USC athletic director Jen Cohen: "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. Cohen: "I was lucky to read it during graduate school and it had a tremendous impact on how I developed and continue to develop myself holistically. Creativity fosters self-awareness, risk-taking and innovation — all so important to leadership. I go back to the lessons learned from this book any time I feel stuck or off-track."

But Clark’s salary also lags behind professionals in niche sports like bowling, surfing and esports. The base salary for a contracted player in the Professional Pickleball Association is $75,000. The top five ranked players on the PPA Tour will average $1.5 million this year in prize money and payouts. Ten players in the Professional Bowlers Association made more last year than Clark’s rookie salary. One major difference between the WNBA and its counterparts across many other sports is that WNBA players earn a smaller fraction of league revenue. Read more: https://lnkd.in/g8j2bV3G
