A German great, Leonie is young and accomplished. She's a star on the German National team and there's no doubt in my mind we'll be seeing much more of Leo in the near future, possibly in Paris at the Summer Olympics and maybe even in New York with the Liberty. Leo has a great attitude, a competitors mentality and a soft spot for coffee and German chocolate.
