LeVar Piper
Head Coach
LeVar was introduced to the Waterloo Regional Boxing Academy while attending High
School. He spent some
time training with Arnie Boehm before moving away for college. During college years,
he stayed active
training in Capoeira, Balintawak Eskrima, and Muay Thai.
After achieving various levels of
proficiency in each discipline he returned to boxing. Having trained
with 3 former world champions and competing, LeVar made the difficult but inevitable
decision to give up
being the athlete and support his sons as a coach in the very club that he began
boxing.
As a coach LeVar has participated at Provincial competitions as well as junior and
senior National
competitions. He has worked with elite level athletes and National level coaches. He
has been working
his way up the NCCP coaching stream and recently completed his first level 3 course.
His
responsibilities within the club include overseeing the competitive program and
assisting with various
fundraising initiatives.
LeVar draws from his experiences as a high school athlete, martial artist, and
competitive boxer as well
as the influences given from past trainers and mentors to offer a unique approach to
preparing athletes
for competition.
