Sophie Cunningham reveals ‘brutal’ side of being with Indiana Fever

Sophie Cunningham has firmly established herself as one of the biggest stars for the Indiana Fever. Outside of Caitlin Clark, one could argue that Cunningham is the most popular player on the team.

Cunningham’s rise to fame was astronomical. The 6-foot-1 guard’s social media followers skyrocketed overnight after she got ejected in a game against the Connecticut Sun last season. Cunningham was tossed after a hard foul on Jacy Sheldon, which fans believe was in retaliation for Clark.

Cunningham currently has multiple endorsement deals with big brands such as Adidas, Arby’s and Quest Nutrition, to name a few. She also hosts a popular podcast entitled “Show Me Something.”

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham speaks on dark side of social media

Fame has a price, though, and this is something Cunningham has had to deal with firsthand. The veteran admitted that being on the Fever is both a blessing and a curse. According to Cunningham, being a member of arguably the most popular team in the WNBA is like living under a microscope.

“Like sports, you never know what it’s going to throw at you, especially when you’re on the Fever, and you have so many eyes on you 24/7,” she said. “People forget you’re human. Social media is awesome, but also totally brutal.

“And so you can’t rely on those types of people to give you your identity. So, you know, just kind of remembering your why, remembering what makes you you, and being confident in that.”

Cunningham revealed that she has been seeing a sports psychologist for many years now, even before she became a big star with the Fever. This has helped her navigate the brutal aspect of social media as well as the other downsides of playing for Indiana.
