Which state is this in?
There's a lot of stuff in contracts that are more scary / intimidating / best-effort-squeeze-of-the-big-over-the-small that isn't enforceable in many states. I'm no lawyer, here, though.
I can't see how it's enforceable that once you cease working there, everything you do for one year is presumed to be related and subject to the same work you did for the previous employer/Client. Also, that might imply that they'd owe you money, right? I can picture a judge turning to the counsel of this company and asking that question.
