Yesterday was Ninja Tryouts, and they were so much fun! I’m already on the team, but I went to help out the kids who were trying out for a spot. We started with a warm-up and box jumps, and then the coaches tested different skills. About 15 kids were there giving it their best. One of the big challenges was pull-ups. The last time I tested myself, I managed 15 in a row, but for tryouts we only had to do 5. It was exciting to cheer everyone on and be part of the day. Now I can’t wait until next week when we find out what level of team we qualify for!

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.
