FGCU student Training for American Ninja Warrior (2)

Brown realized he could use the skills and strengths he had developed from basketball practice and from ninja training and apply them to reach a different goal. He abandoned the idea of playing for the Dunk City Eagles and decided he wanted to compete in ANW.

Nowadays, he is not only a ninja but he goes by the alias “Flash,” and it is not only because it’s his favorite television show. He was nicknamed “Flash” because he likes to do things fast, especially ride his longboard. Since he was nicknamed, he dresses like the superhero.

“As a Christian, it means I want to be a light in the dark world,” Brown said. “I like dressing like Flash because of the symbol of the lighting bolt — it’s like the light and then the circle is all dark. It reminds I want to inspire people to not give up on what they want to do and to show people about my savior, Jesus Christ.”
