While she’s competed at Ultimate Ninjas in Naperville, Hughes usually trains at Ultimate Ninjas Libertyville, which is right next to Feed My Starving Children. She goes to both in-state and out-of-state competitions.

Spectators watch as Hughes braves the obstacle known as “on the edge.” She tackled this obstacle during the UNX Major 1 competition in Naperville.

“In Ninja, you have to be really fast and you also have to have a good reaction time. Also in volleyball, you have to jump really high to get the balls, and theres some jumps in Ninja that you have to do to catch the obstacles. I think that [the training] has helped a lot.”

“Ninja Warrior is a full-body sport. To train you have to work on both your lower and upper body strength, get rid of nerves and practice things to challenge yourself,” Hughes said.
