Deion Sanders understands how important it is for an athlete to perform well; especially when the entire country's attention is on them.
When the Colorado Buffaloes head coach made an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," he gave a motivational piece of advice to Iowa superstar hooper Caitlin Clark.
"Caitlin, baby girl...We're coming down the homestretch," Coach Prime said. "This is gonna be your last dance...I need you to finish strong. I don't care what they say about the WNBA, but I know what you're capable of."
Deion Sanders, who has a net worth of $45 million as per Yahoo Finance, is excited to see Clark win it all. She led the Iowa Hawkeyes to their third consecutive Big Ten title on Sunday as they defeated Nebraska 94-89.
Clark and the Hawkeyes are now getting ready for the NCAA tournament.
