Felice Herrig competes on "American Ninja Warrior" (video)

well her horrible foot work definitely showed.....

Strange thing was I was flipping around the channels and saw this exactly when she came on. I never even saw the show before lol.

Yeah they have athletes from major sports have a go at the course once in awhile, but they never do well. The Ninja Warrior course is something you have to train specifically for; being a great athlete alone won't cut it.
I remember a Harlem Globetrotter was on one time though and actually did really, really well!!

fist same thing happened to me. i caught it as soon as she started the course.

i believe mayhem was on this show in the past.

felice has huge ass shoulders on a side note

It seems like most the people doing well on this have a gymnastics and/or rock climbing background.
Like Trigger said, not much of a correlation between being a great athlete and being good at this.

Yeah I don't actively seek out the show, but whenever I happen to catch like a mini marathon on TV I usually gets sucked into watching it for a few hours. And typically the ones that do even remotely well at the course have actual replicas of the obstacles built in gyms that they train on to get ready for the real thing, which leads me to believe that even if your athletic gifts were of the perfect formula for what you would need to succeed at this, you'd still fail miserably if you didn't train specifically for it.
