    Coach Leslies ability to break down individual players games and provide skill development is as good as I have ever seen. Through his workouts players gain confidence which translates to better play on the court and an improved life. Every level of player can improve under his guidance.

    Working with the peak for me mean hard work, with him you will focus getting better on your game and individual skills. He will teach you how to play a great defense, and win a good position to get some rebounds. You also will learn to be a great player with or without the ball.
