During his five-year career, Louis reached a top speed of 205.56 kph in Les Arc France. And in 1995, Louis finished 19th in the World Speed Skiing Championships held in Yllas, Finland. This experience has given him an in-depth understanding of training in the competitive sports environment at a World Cup level. Louis is an accomplished author and public speaker and has formed business alliances with other specialists in the area of FUNctional fitness, balance, pro sports and rehabilitation. Louis regularly makes guest appearances on videos, radio talk shows, and television programs.
