No interviews this week, but next week during the National Ninja Finals in Perth I'll be hopefully doing a heap of interviews 😊. Today I talk about the importance of working on your weaknesses and surrounding yourself with better athletes to improve.

Betsy Burnett is my First female Ninja guest! Betsy is known as the Disco Ninja due to her love of dance! Betsy has competed on all 3 seasons of Ninja Warrior here in Australia and had a stand out performance in Season 2, being one of 6 women to make it up the warped wall during the heats. 

What is impressive about Betsy is she under 5 Feet and is considered the shortest female in the comp. We talk about her experiences, training and what it's like competing as women on this amazing show.

Perry is a ninja who has competed in 7 different versions of the show and achieved the 'Last Ninja Standing' title on Ninja Warrior in the Netherlands! He is full of knowledge and experience we talk about different versions of the show, his experience and where the sport of Ninja is going.

Paul Lyons was a 2 x Olympian in Taekwondo, a Ninja Warrior and a good friend. He sadly passed away last week and I never got the chance to get him on the podcast. I learnt a lot from Paul, but these are some key lessons I learnt from him. Hope you find value in it as I did.

Hello Ninjas! Today I explain how I learn new obstacles without getting frustrated. It's journey, you need to love the process. First big thing you have accept is the fear/danger, that's half the battle! Please subscribe to stay in the loop!

I recorded this for me to use myself but figured you might find it valuable too! Save this episode in what platform you use and use it whenever you feel anxious or overwhelmed, at work, home, preparing for a ninja/obstacle run. Hope this helps 😊

Mike Snow:

3 x Australian Ninja Warrior Grand Finalist

2 x Ninja Warrior UK Grand Finalist

An extremely impressive Ninja resume. Mike and I talk about his training origins, how he found parkour and how that has helped him with his current work as a professional stuntman and how that has helped him with Ninja Warrior.

Enjoy!

Today was our monthly Ninja comp at the Compound here in Victoria. It was a brutal course! Only 2 people finished (Ashlin Herbert & Dan Mason) and 5 in total making it to the wall. I was luckily one of them with a placing of 4th 😊 though wanting a finish, there are many positives for me to take away, which I think sharing will provide you with value in how to prepare your self for competition. Enjoy!
