Competing as a member of Team Canada for 15 years, Louis went on to become the Technical Director for Judo Canada and eventually the National Coach. As National Coach he led the Canadian team at the 2000 Olympic Summer Games in Sydney, Australia, where Nicolas Gill won a silver medal. Currently Louis Jani lives in Ottawa, Ontario and works as a Manager of Regional Affairs at the Department of Canadian Heritage.
