About Lester

WRITTEN BY LESTER COOK

I like to stay in shape and be outside. Currently I am interested in yoga, cycling, swimming and running to supplement my training as well as weights. I am an avid golfer and may pursuit it professionally after my tennis career.  I believe and know that I am in a great position to make a leap this year into the top 100.
