Kevin Bull is one of the best American Ninja Warriors – You knew that.

ut what you didn’t probably know was that Kevin Bull is a very wise and humble athlete who has learned the lessons of life and leads by example. In this interview, Kevin lays down the attributes that he feels have led him to amazing moments as one of the best American Ninja Warriors.

Time.

Kevin reminds us that if you continue along a path towards self-improvement in any area of life, Time itself cannot be underestimated as the important ingredient of becoming that which you set out to become. Day by day dedication to excellence adds up into true excellence. It just takes time.

Kevin also discusses thinking outside the box for his famous move (pictured above and seen in the video below.) He also discusses how it almost went wrong and what it was like actually trying such a crazy maneuver! Kevin Bull is a close friend to the Wolfpack Ninjas and has come out to train with us on several occasions. At one point, a few years ago, Kevin trained with us at the Wolf Den in Fort Collins and was very open to learning new training methods and techniques. He incorporated these quickly and is now a Team USA competitor and one of only a handful of Ninjas to ever make it to the legendary upper-body torture course which is stage 3 at Midoriyama. You have to watch the video below of Kevin’s ICONIC MOVE. This is the move that everyone still talks about to this day as being one of THE highlights in all of American Ninja Warrior history:

Here is the ICONIC MOVE from one of the best runs in ANW history:

Kevin is quick to point out that this was actually an experience that really helped mold him and was not as negative as one might think. Kevin used the experience–that might cause feelings of insecurity in most people–to grow and learn from and to become more social where he might have been afraid prior to acquiring the condition. We have a summary about Alopecia from Web MD below, and you should definitely not miss Kevin’s discussion about it on the podcast.

In some cases the hair may become thinner without noticeable patches of baldness, or it may grow and break off, leaving short stubs (called “exclamation point” hair). In rare cases, complete loss of scalp hair and body hair occurs. The
