Testimonials

“Dave Leitao is one of the most intentional people I’ve ever been around. Organization, competitiveness and discipline are some traits which have allowed him to have sustained success at college basketball’s highest levels. While working with Dave I saw first hand his genuine care for the total person. He casts a clear vision and gives that vision structure and tools, giving those that receive it the confidence to execute. He is unequivocally a force for growth and goodness. Any program or business would be better because of his presence in it.”

“Coach Leitao is a longtime friend and mentor of mine. His unique basketball journey provides critical perspective to student-athletes and coaches alike. While at Rutgers, he spoke to our team and coaches about getting the most out of yourself and others. He stated that success is built through intentional mindset training, communication and trust. That message shapes how we prepare and composure every day.”
