Hollywood stuntman Flip Rodriguez is a hero to many, but not solely for the gravity-defying stunts that landed him on “American Ninja Warrior.” A beloved contestant, he hid a personal struggle. As a child, Rodriguez was sexually abused by his father. Once he shared his story publicly, others found their own courage through his bravery. Rodriguez found relief, strength and healing from parkour and freerunning, and now, as a parkour coach, he’s teaching others to overcome their fears.
