Who am I

I was born with Cerebral Palsy and told I would never be able to walk without braces on my legs when I was 17 months old. I’ve spent my whole life fighting to not only overcome my own challenges, but so much more. I’ve gone on to not only walk but become a professional athlete, being the only person to ever win Ninja Warrior’s $1,000,000 prize Twice. I got out of the braces at 7, won my first national championship at 12, and won American Ninja Warrior at 18. I’ve been on 4 seasons of American Ninja Warrior and have won 2 of them, as well as being on 2 seasons of Ninja Junior winning both of those. I now focus on coaching and speaking to inspire and help others overcome obstacles. I’ve been on many talk shows and other interviews, spoken to companies such as Keller Williams, and have coached many athletes who have achieved success on and off the show. My goal is to impact people and help them overcome their own challenges in life, on and off the course. If you are interested in booking an event, send a message to contact.vancewalker@gmail.com.

Why I Coach

Growing up, all I needed was one person supporting and believing in me. That gave me the hope to keep going despite the challenges. I also had an amazing coach when I started Ninja Warrior who helped me to understand how the obstacles worked and how my body worked on them, rather than just how to do things. My goal is to be that coach who helps you understand and learn, so you can eventually coach yourself and others.
