In his training he has been able to improvise, adapt, and overcome all deficiencies existing in goalkeepers' forms prior to his training. Lekavich’s training methods greatly improve the athletic skill and levels of his goalkeepers. Because of this, many of his students have been scouted to play for higher level teams, offered scholarships to colleges, and have won various prestigious titles and tournaments.

Lekavich then went to Golden West College, where he continued to play soccer and began his pursuit for a college degree. He also played on the DSV Danubia Men's League team, until he entered the United States Marine Corps (USMC) in 1992.
