Luc’s sports hero is his football coach Chris Penner. Here’s Luc’s words as to why his football coach is his hero, “he’s always been an apparent figure in my sport’s life. I have known him for years as he also coached my father in football, as well as my older brother.”
“Luc is a fine young man who exemplifies hard work, determination and accountability in what is one of the most demanding sports. Luc has been a committed wrestler for the past three years and has been presented with a unique opportunity to compete for a spot on the FILA Canadian National Team.” – Coach
