Zion Clark was born in 1997 in Columbus, Ohio. As mentioned before, his legless body was a recipe for disaster, with even the foster care system labeling him problematic and giving up on him. However, this did little to stop him from learning new skills. To escape from an abusive living environment, Zion had to pick up wrestling while in elementary school. Although this did not work out initially (especially after failing to win a single match for years), his passion for the sport did not wane even a wee bit.

Thankfully, Coach Gil Donahue recognized Zion's passion for wrestling and decided to help him achieve his goals. For three years, Zion hit the gym like a possessed man, and his transformation was evident. In his first senior year, he finished the season 33-15. Zion would later become the first American athlete to participate in both the Paralympics and the Olympics.

Thanks to his tremendous athleticism and body strength, Zion also pursues interests in the circus arts, wheelchair bodybuilding, and powerlifting (bench press). On top of his brutal training, he keeps himself busy as a keynote speaker whose ability to inspire is only second to none. One big lesson from Zion's talks is that things never always go smoothly in life, so people must adapt to their respective circumstances to succeed.
