Daniel Gil is the “Kingdom Ninja,” a veteran American Ninja Warrior competitor (11+ seasons), professional obstacle-course athlete, coach, and motivational speaker.

Daniel’s competitive résumé includes record course times, winning Grand Champion of ANW Season 12, and conquering the Final Stage in both the U.S. and Japan. He has represented the USA and the Kingdom of God internationally, coaching and competing in Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, France, and Dubai. His guiding motto is, “I will work hard, do my best, and trust God with the rest.”

Raised in a homeschooled Christian home, he surrendered his life to Christ early and took ownership of his faith in high school, later earning an associate degree from All Nations School of Ministry (2014). He has served on mission trips in Bulgaria, Japan, Malaysia, Rome, and Honduras—leading worship, preaching the Gospel, and serving in practical, Christ-centered ways.

He is the author of Kingdom Ninja: A Warrior’s Guide to Physical, Mental and Spiritual Health and other children’s books and graphic novel, and regularly partners with families, schools, churches and orginizations to equip the next generation to seek first the Kingdom of God.
