Welcome to Chase youe Dreams Episode 5 A Love Letter to Leon I came to Lyon to play handball and train with pros who I could learn from. But I wasn't sure how I would be received. They speak a different language, they have a different culture, and they live a different life. The city has a beautiful history. The architecture is stunning, the food is delicious. But it wasn't the place that inspired me. It was the people, the players. Players and coaches welcomed me like I was one of them. They helped me improve my game and cheered for me even when I failed.

Because life can be scary at times. And when you chase your dreams, there are even more unknowns. But when you find a community that wants to see you win while so many others try to tear you down, it means the world. For this, I'm grateful and humble. And always remember, some of the greatest blessings in life happen when you least expect them. And Leon, that's what you've done for me. Follow along to see what happens next.
