In his own words, “I don’t believe in excuses–there is no excuse to do anything good or bad, I believe we do what we want to do, and instead of making excuses for it, I focus on correcting the bad decisions and building upon the good ones.”

It is indicated that Zion Clark has plans of being at the 2020 Tokyo World Olympic Games.
