After the movie was over it didn't feel like an hour has passed. I love how involve the kids were and how he inspires them how to be more active. He's such a positive role model. #chicagopride

He has the absolute built for the competition. The inspirational video might prove to viewers that hard work, perseverance and to never give up on your dreams will be the key to success. I hope he wins and become the First American Ninja Warrior. I'm rooting for him! Go Go Go! Thanks for inspiring us!
