In second grade, Caitlin Clark wrote a note to herself, compiling her goals for the future.

"Get a basketball scholarship, play in the WNBA," Clark recalled the note saying.

On Monday, her dreams will come true: She is poised to be selected by the Indiana Fever as the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft, launching her professional career in the sport she dominated for the last four years as an Iowa Hawkeye, sinking 3-pointers and breaking records.

"I think more than anything I’m just really excited," Clark told "TODAY" while spending the weekend in New York City, fresh off the NCAA championship game. She's trying to "enjoy every single second" of this "whirlwind" year.

But Clark knows starting in the WNBA will be a challenge — a "good challenge for me," she said, noting that she chose to end her college hoops career with one year of eligibility left to embark on "something new."
