I fell in love with Ninja the same way many do: by watching American Ninja Warrior and thinking, ‘Looks easy enough.’ Spoiler alert: it’s not.
But my competitive spirit is a stubborn beast, and I quickly found out I was pretty good at it. So good, in fact, that I made it to Worlds! I even won both of my ‘Ninja vs. Ninja’ races, proving I was a top contender. But my journey had a little speed bump. A broken arm, to be exact. Let’s just say my hospital stay was not on the schedule, nor was the overnight stay or the souvenir surgery. Now I’m back, documenting my recovery journey and my eventual triumphant return to the ‘big stage.’ I might have a few more screws in me, but I’m ready to take on the world—and hopefully, not a hospital bed.
