Personally, I think the folks who excel on American ninja warrior are far better athletes than your average MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL player. How do you think Serena William would do in a local 5K race or as an American ninja warrior contestant?

You think the average pro athlete in MLB or NFL or NBA couldn't do AN warrior? Half the obstacles are what balance/strength, and you think those type of athletes would struggle? I dont

ETA: Go watch a pro day and you'll see the athleticism from those type of athletes. Shuttle run, agility, power, etc. They'd have zero problem with an ANW course.
