When Clark is not busy with basketball she leaves her weekends open for herself. Since her family is not too far away, she goes home to spend time with them and have family dinners. Clark also enjoys doing fun activities with her teammates like seeing a movie or having a game night.

Although she is exhausted most days, Clark said she could not imagine a life without basketball. Clark said, “I’ve played the sport from the age of five till now, year around so it’s been a piece of me for as long as I can remember.”
