"But I'd be like oh, no, it's 10 times harder than you think it is," she explained."It's an obstacle course that is basically some people's worst nightmare because you are hanging on to things and swinging from things and throwing yourself 10 feet to catch another bar." "When Jess first came in, she didn't come in with a whole lot of natural ability," said George O'Dell, who trains Jess and runs Train Yard. O'Dell and his wife, Amanda, competed on seasons 10 and 11, respectively, of"American Ninja Warrior."
Due to insanely difficult courses, it's not unusual for only one or two of the dozens of"American Ninja Warriors" competitors to complete the day's obstacles. "This was it," she said."This was my time to show everyone what I've made up. When I was up on that course — I've never seen myself happier. It was the most surreal experience ever." Jess' fellow competitors helped her adjust to the big stage, but they were also there to beat her.
