What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

The sport of Ninja requires a well-rounded athlete. It demands excellence in cardio for endurance, balance to navigate obstacles and intense grip strength. It tests my mental toughness, pushing me to stay focused & resilient in the face of challenges. I love that no 2 courses are ever alike. This unpredictability requires strategic planning which keeps me engaged & motivated. The100m obstacle course racing showcases my speed & uses my ninja skillset perfectly in one short, fast paced race!


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Michael Jordan is a huge source of inspiration both on and off the field. His work ethic and determination to succeed make him a legend, setting the standard for excellence. Beyond athletics, his influence extends into business and philanthropy, showing how to leverage success for greater good. His story is about overcoming adversity coupled with a competitive spirit which so motivating for young athletes. It makes me want to pursue my passions and prove hard work and perseverance pay off!


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

My proudest moment is Winning American Ninja Warrior, Jr & donating my winnings of $15,000. My choice resonated deeply with friends. It led to a fundraising event where I raised over $70,000! Since then, I have raised well over $120,000 for different causes. As a young athlete, harnessing my platform for the greater good is what drives me! I would hope my journey is a reminder that true success is not just measured by personal achievements but the difference one can make in the lives of others.
