What made you sign on to do Ninja Warrior?

I think it was an amazing opportunity for me to not only grow my brand as a person and as an athlete, but for the exposure and to see a different aspect of sport. It was just an amazing experience all round. The course is exceptional. I feel like we are one of the only places in the world that has a Ninja Warrior-type show filming at the moment. I definitely wanted to do it as a life experience.
