With everything going on in the world on a daily basis, sometimes it feels like a little positivity is hard to find. One American Ninja Warrior wants to change that.
Four-time National Finalist Chris DiGangi recently decided to shine a light on his Ninja role models, the people who’ve inspired, supported, and driven him through his Ninja Warrior career. Chris began sharing behind-the-scenes memories on Instagram with the hashtag #MyNinjaRoleModels and it’s too sweet.
His first shout out went to Chris Wilczewski, who is one of the founders of the National Ninja League and has literally given DiGangi the shirt off his back before.
Chris called out Nick Hanson for his dedication to Ninja Warrior regardless of the resources at his disposal, his endless support for others, and his sense of humor.
Mike Bernardo helped to inspire Chris’ drive and motivation when he was new to Ninja Warrior.
Chris’ feel-good campaign is catching on with a few of the other Ninjas. Ninja Warrior OG Brian Kretsch jumped on the hashtag to share some special memories with David Campbell (another OG).
Michael Johnson told us more about his “sensei” Ryan Stratis, who helped to shape Michael’s training with friendship and brutal honesty.
Evan Dollard shared a deeply emotional story that exemplified Michelle Warnky’s warmth and grace.
Who would you give a shout out to with #MyNinjaRoleModel?
