KANAMAHP NORTH - Key Persons


Hani Kanama

Job Titles:
  • Honorary Coach
Hani is the inspiration behind Kanama High Performance North. He is without a doubt one of the top weightlifting coaches in Canada, and is the head coach and founder of Kanama High Performance - where he trains 'Regular Joes' and athletes including world champion freestyle wrestlers, junior and professional hockey players, provincial and national rugby team members, martial artists, sprinters, crossfit competitors, and ultra-marathon runners... not to mention the top weightlifting team in Ontario, boasting the top junior male, junior female, and senior male lifters in the province. We are also heavily influenced by Hani's ongoing efforts in coaching at-risk youth - many of whom have become weightlifting champions as well as educated, productive, and positive members of their communities. We have learned a great deal from Hani's approach to training, and we benefit from his continued guidance - as well as the occasional visit.
